Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees / Alaskan Malamute (medium coat). Nellie and her sister, Juno, came to us completely shut down from the shelter. But like so many who are so terrified inside those scary walls, once in a foster home, things change almost immediately! These girls are sweet, adore human contact and are great with other dogs. Once they're spayed and Juno gains a bit more weight, they'll be ready for their forever home, together or in homes of their own. Both girls are being fostered in Utah.

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.
