Initially he was severely underweight and lethargic, now he is a much healthier weight around 80lbs. This amazingly gentle. beautiful soul has slowly opened up in his foster home, every day he has more of a spring to his step. He is one of the most loving dogs. He loves dogs and fits right in with the four dogs in his foster home. He does well with any new foster dogs, puppies, and friends dogs that stay over. He is playful and has moments of PURE happiness. Winter starts out shy with new people but is getting better at warming up quickly, the more he realizes people are kind. He gets really happy when his family comes home and will do a little dance. He will seek affection from them and enjoys being in the same room. He is good with children. He loves walks and is perfect on the leash. He has never had an accident in the house. No need to be crated. His biggest fear is sudden loud noises, but he is improving. He is also a little frightened of going through doorways, but will do so if encouraged. He is truly a beautiful dog, inside and out! Winter is currently in a foster home in DFW area of Texas. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. He is heartworm positive and currently undergoing slow kill treatment. SPIN Rescue will provide adopters with medication to continue.

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.
