Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Dixie is a clever girl waiting for her forever family! This smart 8-month-old, 80 lb sweetheart is incredibly attuned to her people and will follow you from room to room—she never wants to miss a moment with you. Dixie is fully potty trained and recently discovered the joys of couch life, making her an excellent Netflix companion (good luck getting her to move once she's settled in). She loves occupying herself with a good chew toy or bone, and she's hilariously enthusiastic about chasing balls, though she hasn't quite mastered the "bringing it back" part of fetch yet. Dixie is wonderful with dogs of all sizes and is currently learning how to play gently with her 12 lb Chihuahua foster sister. She's curious about cats but respects their boundaries. Her new family should be ready to continue her leash training and work on basic commands. If you want a smart, affectionate companion who will be your constant sidekick, Dixie is waiting for you! Dixie's spay is scheduled for Feb 17 and she can go home after that! Dixie is being fostered in Portland, OR and can be adopted within OR and WA.

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.
