Webinars

We regularly organise webinars for our members on topics related to the Pyrenean mountain dog and other interesting subjects concerning dogs and breeding.

One of our objectives is to bring together lovers of the Pyrenean Mountain Dog.
With a membership base spanning the globe, including Europe, America, Canada, Australia, and Japan, this is one of our greatest challenges.
Distance, time zones, and many different languages make it particularly complicated.
We are seeking effective, modern technological solutions to this problem.

Organising webinars with international speakers is one of the activities we offer our members.

The first webinar will focus on genetics.

And they lived happily ever after

Thursday, 26 February 2026

After lengthy preparations and checking which animals are compatible with each other, the moment has finally arrived: a beautiful litter of puppies. However, sometimes things go wrong, from unexpected illness to even death. How can this be prevented? What if it does happen? Using numerous examples, we will go through tools together to maximise the chances of success and, if things do go wrong, look for solutions. The optimal match and a happy ending: together we can achieve it.
