Abiega Great Pyrenees
Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Abiega Great Pyrenees located in Spruce Pine, NC. Our high-quality puppies are the result of extensive research and thorough care for our outstanding dogs and puppies. We’re careful to breed and raise our pups with only the best policies. The quality of our dogs reflects the conscious decisions we make throughout every part of the breeding process. We will always take a dog back at any point in its life for any reason. We never want to see any of our dogs ending up in shelters or without a home.
