About Apollo Jum

Apollo Jum is a classic Great Pyrenees in both size and spirit. He has a warm spot for people and gets along well with other dogs. Apollo likes to play, but he’s just as likely to settle into couch mode if that’s the mood in the house. Security is a must though—he’ll easily leap over a four-foot fence and can climb wire fencing that's even taller. If Apollo sets his mind to it, he wants to see what’s beyond the yard, so a tall, solid wood fence is non-negotiable. The curiosity matches his adventurous, cosmic-inspired name. Take Apollo with you and he’s content, whether you’re heading out on a hike or just hanging at home. Ready to meet a dog who balances relaxation with spurts of exploration?
