The amount of hours that a Great Pyrenees sleeps depends on the dog itself but most Great Pyrenees sleep at least 14 hours per day.

Great Pyrenees dogs typically sleep most of those hours at night and may take a nap during the day when they are tired.

The dog breed Great Pyrenees is considered a gentle giant and are wonderful dogs and are also good around children.

Yes Great Pyrenees dogs do make good house dogs and good family pets but if you live in a small house then I would not recommend the Great Pyrenees because they are large dogs when fully grown and need a lot of room to run around and roam.

I would also recommend that if you want to get a Great Pyrenees dog that you have at least a good sized backyard so that the dog can roam around and get plenty of exercise.

Great Pyrenees dogs make good house dogs and family pets especially if you live on a farm with lots of land for the dog to roam about.

Great Pyrenees can be good watch dogs and because of the large size of the Great Pyrenees dog it may ward off potential burglars and keep them away from your house and yard.

Great Pyrenees dogs are very loving and affectionate dogs but when they need to be aggressive towards a stranger that is trying to harm you or break into your home the Great Pyrenees dog can be very protective.

Great Pyrenees dogs are very large dogs so if you get one as a puppy be prepared for a really large dog once it's fully grown.

Great Pyrenees dogs are fully grown by 2 years of age and they really grow rapidly when they are a puppy so within 2 years the puppy will grow a lot and just in 1 year the Great Pyrenees puppy can reach 100 lbs in weight.

Then when the Great Pyrenees puppy reaches 2 years of age the dog may gain another 40 lbs of weight and weigh 140 lbs.

The average lifespan of Great Pyrenees dogs is between 10 to 12 years.

Great Pyrenees dogs are large dogs and need a lot of room to exercise and so if you live in an apartment I would not advise you to get a Great Pyrenees dog.

Great Pyrenees dogs do make good house dogs and good family pets and can be very protective of their family when needed but they are also loving dogs.

The Great Pyrenees dog needs a lot of exercise and they also tend to shed a lot and sometimes more shedding happens in certain times of the year.

So be prepared to clean up a lot of fur but if you groom the Great Pyrenees dog often enough the fur shedding will be kept at bay at least some.

Also Great Pyrenees dogs require a lot of food so be prepared to spend a lot of money on dog food and more if you only had a smaller dog.
