My name is Shellie!

Shellie is a beautiful dog, and once she has decided you are family, she is a fierce protector. We have three small children, and she is incredibly gentle and kind with all three, but reacts loudly to all strangers and other animals. She stays inside during the day, but is not what I would consider an "inside" dog. We have to drag her inside at night, and we were leaving her outside during the day, but we live in a neighborhood and she barks too much unaccompanied outside. She is definitely a typical pyr, and LOVES the outdoors, and loves to bark. We have had a neighbor that keeps turning us in to the city, and we can't keep her content inside. We love her so much, and she is a wonderful dog, but just not a good mix for where we live. She would be much more suited with a farm or land that she can be outside 24/7 and neighbors don't mind barking. She is two years old and approx. 85lbs.
