Hi - my name is Alexander but I prefer to be called "Alex". I arrived at AGPR in January 2024 at the age of about 2 months old along with four of my siblings. They've all been adopted. When I got to AGPR, I was a "scrappy little devil". I have grown almost over night and I'm now a long legged handsome boy. My coat is medium length and will be a bit easier to keep under control (remember - it is all relative). One of our volunteers decided to do a DNA test on me and also on one of my sisters. We both came up with about 45% Great Pyr and about 25% Anatolian Shepherd. The rest is a little bit of "this and that". We do know our mommy was predominantly Pyr and our daddy was said to be some sort of livestock guardian, so we believe the DNA results. I'm a little different from my siblings - I have a bobbed tail. It is genetic (and confirmed with my DNA test). It's so cute and wags like all the others when I am happy. You will find it funny when you meet me to know that I have some chihuahua in my DNA...not sure where it is! I always hear the volunteers talk about me and how handsome I am and how smart I am. They love it when they pass by my exercise run and I stick my long front leg and paw out to "Pyr paw" and remind then that I am here...waiting for a walk. Speaking of walks, I LOVE my walks! I'm a bit energetic at first - I can't help it, I just get so excited about getting out with my people and exploring nature. An interesting tidbit? I look awesome as a reindeer in the Christmas parades. I can't wait to find my forever family and home. I'm hoping for a nice big yard so I can run and play..."zoomies" are my favorite thing to do. I'd be a great walking or hiking buddy with my long legs and enthusiasm. I LOVE people but I might be a bit fussy with other dogs...it depends. Do you think I'd be a good addition to your family? All Great Pyrenees require a fenced-in yard (at least four foot high). If you have questions about the breed or our adoption policies and procedures, please go to our website at www.agprescue.org. There's plenty of good information about the breed on our website - Pyrs aren't a breed for everyone! Our adoption application is online: http://agprescue.org/adoption-application/agpr-application-donations/ Please note that we are a small regional rescue organization. We will consider adopting to families within a four to five hour drive to Richmond, VA
