Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees / Golden Retriever (long coat). Meet Archie! He is a delightful, very calm, 2-3yr old male Great Pyrenees. Possibly mixed with Lab or Golden Retriever as his white coat has a few golden patches and he has gold eyes. Currently Archie weighs just under 70 pounds and is slightly underweight, he should be about 80 or more pounds. Archie is a little cautious with new people but warms up very quickly. He likes to follow you around, snuggle next to you on the couch, and use his paw to ask for more pets. We haven't introduced him to small children yet but think he would do well. He is good with cats and dogs, but doesn't show much interest in either. He is more a people person. Archie is a good swimmer and has gone paddle boarding with his foster family. He stayed on the board for a while and then when heading back to shore, he jumped off to swim along the side. He is great on a leash! His foster has even started riding a bike during their walks while Archie runs alongside. Archie isn't very toy motivated but he does love to be a silly goofball. When he gets excited he will whine and jump. He is a little picky about eating and on the thin side, maybe his forever family can find the right kibble/meal to motivate him. He is house trained and good when left alone in the house. Not a big fan of crates. He likes the car but will try to get in the front with you. Archie is the perfect adventure buddy that also has a very calm gentle energy. He will be a wonderful addition to many families! Archie is neutered. His adoption fee is $250. He is currently in a foster home in DFW area of Texas. Out of state adopters are responsible for arranging transport on their own. Apply to meet / adopt Archie at .spinrescue

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.
