Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees. Winter is one of our sweetest old souls. Shy inside you really see her when she is outside. She came in as a stray so little is known about her past, because of her breed we speculate she may have been an outside dog. She is sweet and seems to do fine with cats. We can not guarantee how she would be with live stock or poultry. If she goes to a home with another dog, it would have to be a nice calm dog who does not want to play. In Winter's older years she would probably love a home where she can lay outside in the sun most of the day and not be bothered by another dog. She would make a great addition to any country home that would like a lay on the porch all day type of dog.Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at infoawlwarsaw if you have any questions about me! If not, stop by the shelter at 1048 S 325 E in Pierceton, IN 46562 to look at me! No appointments necessary!

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.
