Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Meet Merlin! He is a 5 years old, 95lbs, male Great Pyrenees. Merlin is the definition of a gentle giant with a sensitive soul. True to his Great Pyrenees nature, he's laid-back and spends most of his day napping and observing. But don't let that fool you, when the mood strikes, Merlin comes alive with bursts of playful energy! He loves romping around with the dogs in his foster home, playing with squeaky toys, and his favorite... destroying boxes. Merlin is a sweetheart who adores hanging out with kids and will gladly accept pets and attention. He takes a little time to warm up to new adults, but quickly becomes friends if you bring him some cheese. He is a gentleman and doesn't jump up on people. He does well with little and big dogs. He plays beautifully with big dogs and must have another large dog in his forever home as he gets anxious when left alone. Merlin is a smart, he knows sit, stay, lay down, leave it, and shake (though he'll give you a look that says 'really?'). He has learned to open latch doors. He knows "wait" for crossing streets and has decent leash manners, though he will pull if something scares him. High traffic areas stress him out, but he loves peaceful trails and wading through water. Merlin can be sensitive and need extra reassurance when it comes to thunder, vacuums, garbage trucks, and skateboards. He can also be vocal and not shy about sharing his opinions. He is house trained and great in the car. Merlin is a loyal, loving companion who has been through a lot but has so much love left to give. If you have room in your home and heart for a sensitive soul who needs a confident dog sibling, Merlin may just be your perfect match. Merlin is in a foster home in Dallas, Texas. Out of state adopters are responsible for arranging transport. He is neutered, current on vaccinations, and on heart worm prevention. Adoption fee is $250.

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.
