Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees / Border Collie / Mixed (long coat). This puppy is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $250 if picked up in TN, $325 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Does your family have a big yard, a sense of humor, and maybe a creek nearby, because Hugo would like to submit his application to join you! This five-month-old Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix is 45 pounds of clumsy, curious, wide-eyed puppy energy, and he is somehow getting goofier by the day. He is the kind of puppy who makes everyone smile without even trying. Hugo is already doing remarkably well for a baby his size. He is crate trained without a peep, has had zero accidents in the house, and rides quietly in his crate during car trips. He walks reasonably well on a leash, aside from occasionally deciding it looks like a fun thing to carry in his mouth. He is learning his name and has a very solid understanding of the word no, which says a lot about how smart this boy is. Hugo is obsessed with water and will make a beeline for any creek or puddle he can find. He loves squeaky toys, romping with his dog housemates, and napping on his back with all four gigantic paws straight up in the air, which is as hilarious as it sounds. He is also in full teething mode, so anything left at puppy level is fair game, and his future family will want to plan accordingly. He is a total blank slate, soaking up everything around him and watching his housemates navigate the world one goofy step at a time. Hugo would do best in a home with other friendly dogs to learn from, plenty of space to run, and a patient family ready to invest in training this big, bright, loveable goofball into something truly spectacular.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Pyrenees Border Collie, a compelling hybrid of the intelligent Border Collie and the majestic Great Pyrenees, emerges as a fascinating and capable companion. Originating from combining these two distinct working breeds, its purpose is often to blend the herding prowess of the Border Collie with the guarding instincts of the Great Pyrenees. Physically, expect a medium-to-large dog, typically exhibiting a dense, weather-resistant coat, often in shades of black, white, merle, or tricolor, with a build that suggests both agility and strength. Temperamentally, they are generally loyal, intelligent, and protective, making them excellent family guardians. However, their intelligence also means they require consistent training and plenty of mental and physical stimulation to prevent boredom. While their protective nature can be wonderful for families, early socialization is crucial. Due to their size and need for exercise, they are not typically suited for apartment living and thrive in homes with ample outdoor space. Health-wise, they can be predisposed to conditions affecting their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, and eye conditions, so responsible breeding practices are vital.
