Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (medium coat). Stryker, known as Ryker to his foster mom, is another of the sweet boys from the hoarding situation out of NM. This sweet boy has done wonderfully well in his foster home in ID. He's spent the last several weeks getting healthy, gaining confidence and coming out of his shell! Ryker has been living with a female dog and loves to play with her, he learned to play with another dog! He is living with cats, which is still a work in progress but he's doing ok. Like the other boys, he lived on a chain and because of that he is great on a leash to walk. When we took Ryker and the other dogs they were said to have Lupus, that's why their noses were so sore. But it may actually be photosensitive dermatitis. Either way they are all being treated and their cute little noses are looking better and better every day! Ryker has found his bark over the last few weeks and is definitely living up to being a Pyr! His foster mom says he is a great couch potato, super smart and has a wonderful disposition. He is not comfortable around young kiddos, he's actually quite scared of them so a home with older kiddos or none is preferred for him. Ryker is a pro at the doggy door, totally house trained and ready to move on to his forever home. A family who understands dogs from hoarding situations do take time and often have quirks that other dogs may not have is a must. Ryker is being fostered in ID.

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.
