We reached out to DASH because we realized our dogs, regardless of being alleged herding breeds, are not meant to work with livestock since they are fleeing our fenceless yard and bothering our neighbors large animals. We’ve had Toby since he was a baby puppy. He’s always been a big loving goofball. He loves to run and roam outdoors. But also loves to come inside and won’t turn away an indoor living situation as long as there’s also a yard and humans who want to play with him. Toby is a big goober. He’s the perfect mix of a Pyrenees and a golden retriever. He has the loyalty and love of the retriever and he’s not stubborn like most Pyrenees. He’s very smart loves to play, but also likes to hunker down with the family and chill out. Tobi is a small or rather medium perfect size for being a Pyrenees mix. He’s never met a stranger and loves to be given affection and attention. He may not be as quick to train as his Aussie brother, but he’s still very smart and will want to please you. We never imagined that we would have to rehome our dogs, but we want what’s best for them and we want to keep them safe. They do not naturally try to run away. It’s just that we have no fence and they’re cooped up all day while we’re gone. We hope DASH followers will take a look at Toby and see his outer beauty; as his owner, I can say he has the disposition and personality to match” APPLICATION REQUIRED from www.dashdog.org  Adoption Fee $450 - the fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE and is not specific for any dog or puppy; it goes to the expenses of the organization as a whole* OUR APPLICATION IS ON www.dashdog.org and must be completed in order to set up a meeting.
