Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees. Isabella is BELLA! She arrived in Maryland less than a week ago and since then she has been stealing the heart of everyone she meets. Her foster says that she is a "dream to walk on leash, and doesn't pull at all," which at 58 lbs is great! Isabella walks on leash in tandem with her foster's dog and does very well. Her foster also says that Bella is very respectful in the home and that she does not jump on the furniture. Isabella is good with other dogs and she loves people! "Sweet, friendly, and loving" are words Isabella's foster uses to describe this one-year old beauty. She said that Isabella is house-trained yet needs to be watched as she can chew things she shouldn't. Isabella's foster is working on crate training; Isabella loves people so much that she does not enjoy being in her crate when it means that she will be away from people. She is a young girl, so training will help iron out these wrinkles. We will continue to update Isabella's profile as we learn more about her. PAW adopts in the MD, VA, DC, and northern PA region.

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.
