Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (medium coat). We first met Lucy about 2 years ago, surrendered to a Utah shelter for a supposed bite. But after her eval it's just not something we can ever believe she would do. She is beyond sweet and we found her a wonderful home with a kind man and his young Akbash, Zack. She was home. Until her kind owner suddenly passed away and Lucy, along with Zack, were facing euthanasia. We only had a couple of days to find a safe place for this bonded pair, thankfully a hero stepped up, a foster. Lucy takes a bit to warm up, she is protective but she loves deeply. She's been through a lot and we will be extremely selective on where she and Zack go, together! They are like an old married couple. :) Both dogs are great with cats, Lucy is good with young male dogs, needs very slow intros with females. This sweet pair is being fostered in MT.

Overview:
The Great Pyrenees is a majestic and ancient breed, originating in the Pyrenean mountains between France and Spain, where they served as formidable livestock guardians. Physically, they are large, powerful dogs, easily recognized by their thick, double coat, typically white (though sometimes marked with badger, grey, or tan), and a distinctive "double dewclaw" on their hind legs. Despite their imposing size, their temperament is generally calm, gentle, and remarkably patient, making them excellent companions. They possess a natural protectiveness, which translates to a watchful eye over their families and property. While loving and tolerant with children, their size and barking tendencies make them less suited for small apartment living; a home with a yard is ideal. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, patellar luxation, and certain eye conditions, emphasizing the importance of responsible breeding. Their independent nature also means they require consistent, positive reinforcement training.
