Meet Benny, a spirited four-year-old mixed breed from Denver, CO, whose heart is as vast and loving as the great outdoors he adores! Benny's a delightful blend of Shih Tzu, Great Pyrenees, American Pitbull Terrier, and Australian Cattle Dog, wrapped in a handsome charcoal gray coat with charming white accents. This medium-sized, forty-one-pound adventurer is more than just a pretty face—he's a bundle of energy and affection ready to find a new loving home. (see DNA results in the pics)
Benny is the epitome of a nature lover. His happiest moments are spent hiking through trails, camping under the stars, or exploring the wilderness with his trusted companions. He’s at his best when he's outside, where he can freely roam and let his playful spirit shine. His recall is impressive, making him an excellent off-leash companion on those outdoor escapades. Whether it’s running through a yard or sniffing the breeze during a car ride with the windows down, Benny revels in every moment of outdoor joy!
At home, Benny is a big-time cuddler! He’s as goofy as he is loving, always ready to curl up next to you after a day of fun. He’s incredibly well-trained, knowing commands like sit, stay, down, place, shake, sit pretty, wait, off, and heel. Benny’s training doesn’t just stop at obedience—he’s also crate trained, house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all his vaccinations.
While Benny thrives outdoors, apartment living has been a challenge due to the overstimulation it brings. He can be reactive on the leash, especially when faced with loud noises, men, other dogs, or fast-moving objects like skateboards. However, in an environment where he has space to run and explore, his true, joyful personality comes to life. Benny does well with other dogs and cats, making him a great addition to a multi-pet household!
Benny's ideal new family would have a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and play to his heart's content. A canine buddy to romp around with would be the icing on the cake, as Benny has always enjoyed the company of other dogs. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and adventurous companion, Benny might just be the perfect match for you! Are you ready to welcome this wonderful pup into your home?
