About Dixie

Meet Dixie, the pocket-sized Great Pyrenees mix you didn’t know you needed. At two years old, she’s impressively smart and on the smaller side for her breed mix, giving you all the charm of a Pyrenees without the backbreaking weight. Her surprising DNA reveals she's half Pyrenees and half shepherd, making for a unique combination. Dixie is incredibly intelligent, mastering more commands than many kids do. She's polite and attentive, especially to those in the teen and adult crowd. While she's generally good with other dogs, she’s not a fan of the vet—she firmly believes that’s where bad things happen. What you have here is a clever shepherd disguised as a fluffy white companion, with a charming personality to match. Active and playful but not overly chaotic, Dixie thrives in a calm home with minimal foot traffic and a fenced yard.
