Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees / Akbash (medium coat). At 4 years old and 130 lbs of floofy greatness, Darby is a stunning Great Pyrenees/Akbash mix with a heart as big as his paws. After being left at a shelter with his littermate following a divorce, this gentle boy is now thriving in foster care—and ready to find his forever home! Why D arby’s Foster Adores Him: • Total people lover—he lives for pets and attention • Great alert barker but instantly friendly once guests are welcomed • Walks like a dream—loves to stroll and sniff at a calm pace • Gets along peacefully with dogs and even cats • Easygoing and sweet to have around A Note on Food: Darby does have some resource guarding with food/treats, so he does best when meals and goodies are given separately from other pups. He’s the full package—handsome, loyal, and full of love. All he needs now is a home of his own. Darby was recently adopted and returned 6 months later due to no fault of his own. He would love a family, loves kids! And would prefer another dog in the home to keep him company rather than be left alone. Darby is also great with cats! He is being fostered in Northern 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.
