Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (medium coat). Meet Frank! He is a playful, outgoing, affectionate 1yr old male Great Pyrenees. Currently 75lbs but should fill out to around 85 once he is fully grown. Frank is affectionate with people and has never met a person he didn't like. He will happily climb into your lap despite his size. We haven't seen him around children but think he would do well. He absolutely adores dogs. He will need a playmate dog in his forever home. He likes wrestling and then napping beside them. He hasn't been tested with cats. Frank is playful, bouncy and a little goofy. He loves destroying toys and his favorite game is tug'of'war. He is also a talker. True to his breed, he will let you know if anything is outside your home, especially at night when he becomes more alert. Frank is up for going wherever you are going. Walks are the highlight of his day and he rides well in the car. He is house trained and trustworthy loose in the home. Frank was diagnosed and treated for Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD), its a joint condition common in large breed dogs where the cartilage doesn't develop properly. Frank had shoulder surgery to remove loose cartilage and is recovering great. This condition won't slow him down now that it's been treated, other than he needs to stay at a healthy weight his entire life. So don't let him talk you into extra treats. Frank will be a fun, wonderful addition to a home looking for a large, goofy, friendly playmate. Frank is neutered and fully vaccinated. His adoption fee is $250. He is currently in a foster home in Dallas, Texas. Out of state adopters are responsible for arranging their own transport. Apply to meet and adopt Frank at .spinrescue

Breed overview
Great Pyrenees
A.K.A.: Pyrenean Mountain Dog, Patou, Chien de Montagne des Pyrénées, Pyrenean, Big White Dog, Bear Dog, Gentle Giant, Great Pyr, Pyr
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.
