About Casper

Casper shows all the promise you'd expect from a young Great Pyrenees learning the ropes as a livestock guardian. He’s sharp, alert, and steady, coming from a strong working lineage, and he already seems to take the job seriously, even at a young age. No need for micromanagement here—Casper gets the gist and picks things up quickly under direction. He’s also calm and friendly around other dogs, cats, and children, so a pet home could suit him well if you’re after more than a working dog. Casper has a long white cream coat that fits the breed perfectly. He still needs work on house training, but that’s expected for a dog raised for the pasture. Give this boy some space and minimal guidance, and he'll fit right in, whether patroling a farm or lounging at the end of the sofa. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
