Brew

My story

Brew is an approximately 4year old male Great Pyrenees. He is a large boy about 165 pounds. For the first 3 years of his life, he was in a bad situation where he was abused and neglected and came to us about a year ago. For the most part has been a loving and good dog. He loves being outside as much as possible! He loves laying in the sun and playing in the snow, and he hates when we make him come inside when he isn’t ready to! He is very protective of his home and his chosen people. Very typical Great Pyr behavior! Strangers MUST be introduced to him slowly and in a very controlled environment. He has had some behavior issues that are common to the breed that have improved some with time but can still be a struggle. Such as barking, nipping, and resource guarding. After our year with him we believe the type of home and family that would suit him best would be with an organized and disciplined routined home. He would do well with older children but I’m not sure how he would be around smaller younger kids. He does well with other dogs in the home and at the dog park. He is a big couch potato and loves to lay around. He would love to have plenty of space to spend time outside as much as possible. ***Also to be fully transparent he has had a couple of issues where he has nipped people he has deemed as threats. Both times occurred when someone had come into the house before we could get Brew secured. One time resulted in a small bite on the hand and the other was just a charge. Neither time resulted in any damage and they definitely were learning experiences about how to introduce Brew to strangers in the future*** Brew’s family is having a baby and would like to rehome Brew prior to baby arrival. We do have a trainer that can work with some of these behaviors if you are interested in meeting, Brew. He has not had prior training experience and we do believe he would benefit from it and a home with large guardian breed/Great Pyr experience! Please share, currently living in Clinton, TN. Brew will be updated on all vaccines, heartworm test and is already neutered.
