Meet Chester! Born around January 2023, this endearing boy weighs about 55 pounds, putting him firmly in “pocket Pyr” territory.
He is truly one of a kind! His DNA results revealed that he is a wonderful, unique mix of 14 breeds! He is: 42% Great Pyrenees, 20% Australian Cattle Dog, 8% Redbone Coonhound, 5% Catahoula Leopard Dog, 3% Bluetick Coonhound, 2% Komondor, and more!
He was found lounging on a road, then taken to a shelter where he was never reclaimed. We happily welcomed him to SPIN!
Chester is just like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. Like Tigger, he is very “bouncy!” He likes to jump and play, and is very sweet to his people. Because he is so very exuberant, he sometimes jumps or bumps into you, so he might not be best placed with small children or anyone who can be pushed off balance.
He is the best boy when at the veterinarian where everyone falls in love with him as he sweetly allows the poking, prodding, shots, and nail trims.
Chester loves being with other dogs. He and his furry foster siblings play together in the back yard for hours, eat together, then cuddle together.
He also likes to fetch, a very uncommon trait in a Pyrenees. He is very food motivated, and is more trainable than the average Pyr. He quickly learned sit and kennel training.
SPIN Pyrs are all in foster homes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Adoption fees are $300 for dogs under 1 year old, $250 for dogs 1-7 years old, $200 for dogs over 7 years old. Potential adopters are asked to make travel arrangements if they live elsewhere. All SPIN dogs are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations and on heartworm prevention. Please go to our website www.SpinRescue.org and fill out an application for this great Great Pyrenees!
