Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd / Great Pyrenees / Mixed (medium coat). Junco was found stray covered in mud in the outskirts of Woodland. He had no identification or microchip and no one has come to claim him. He can be a bit shy when we try to leash him for walks but his love for treats always wins him over and he cooperates so gently. He is built like a jumbo Australian Shepherd with just a little nubbin for a tail, but has the size and floof of a Great Pyrenees. He has an EXCELLENT `heel` on walks with zero pulling. He even slows down to match your pace and will sometimes even press his big floofy body against your legs during the walk. Junco is somewhat alert when he sees other dogs and turkeys when walking around the shelter, but he has not barked and does not try to pull or lunge. Instead, he presses closer to you to make sure everyone is OK before continuing on his walk. Schedule an appointment to meet Junco at yoloshelter/dogs or email adoptyoloshelter

Breed overview
Overview:
The Aussie Pyrenees is a striking hybrid that combines the herding instincts of the Australian Shepherd with the guardian nature of the Great Pyrenees. Originating as a designer mix, this breed is known for its large size, often weighing between 50–110 pounds, with a thick double coat that can come in a variety of colors including white, cream, brindle, and tri-color. Their temperament blends loyalty, intelligence, and protectiveness, making them devoted family companions who thrive in active households. While affectionate and gentle with children, they can be wary of strangers, so early socialization is important. Due to their size and energy, they are best suited for homes with spacious yards rather than apartments. With proper care, they enjoy a lifespan of 10–15 years, though owners should watch for potential health concerns such as hip dysplasia and joint issues common to large breeds.
