Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Meet Tucker! He is a 1yr old, 70 pound, friendly, male Great Pyrenees. Tucker is a good boy with a lot of energy and love to give. He was found as a stray and brought to a local shelter before coming into SPIN Rescue. Tucker enjoys playing with the small and big dogs in his foster home. He has not been cat tested. He has done well during public outings and is good with kids and new people. He is good on a leash and rides well in the car, although not always happy about getting into the car. He is doing well with crate training, usually opting to self crate to take a nap. He doesn't bark much. We are working with Tucker to help with some of his less desirable behaviors, such as counter surfing and chewing on inappropriate items... he is still a puppy after all. There may need to be a learning curve in his forever home while he gets settles and learns the rules. He loves heavy duty chew toys and sometimes will play fetch, though he doesn't always bring it back. Overall, Tucker is a sweet boy who is eager to be loved and will show you with occasional kisses. He will make a fantastic companion!

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.
