The GPCMM was founded in 1976 and has members all over the country, although most are in Wisconsin and northern Illinois. The club held the Great Pyrenees Club of America National Specialty show in 1982, 1991, and again in 2011. The GPCMM is an AKC licensed specialty club and holds two regional specialties each year. The group meets for programs, films, educational talks on training, showing, care, and a chance to socialize with Pyr people. In addition to an active rescue program, members occasionally have puppies available for sale.
