About Dwight

Dwight is a friendly and affectionate boy who loves human interaction, often nuzzling hands for pets and greeting everyone he sees. He's not treat-motivated but enjoys playing outside, rolling in the grass, and chasing a laser pointer like a cat. He's a quick learner, already knowing commands like 'no', 'wait', 'down', 'paw', 'gentle', 'bed', 'belly', and 'sit'. While he gets along with other dogs, he would prefer to be the sole canine companion in his new home. He's also fully housetrained, crate trained, and doesn't suffer from separation anxiety.

As a handsome Great Pyrenees and Border Collie mix, Dwight embodies the best traits of both breeds. The Great Pyrenees in him makes him an excellent outdoor guard dog, loving to work and watch over his property, while the Border Collie influence contributes to his high intelligence and incredible energy levels. This combination means he thrives on mental and physical stimulation. He's a large dog, shy of 100 pounds, and loves going on errands with his foster, demonstrating his adaptability and good leash manners.

Dwight is seeking an active home, ideally with a securely fenced property or farm where he can enjoy ample outdoor time. Due to his preference for a quiet environment and his protective tendencies around resources, a home without young children is essential, and he would flourish as the only dog. He needs an owner who understands his need for significant exercise and engagement, and who can respect his boundaries, especially when he's sleeping or enjoying a chew bone. If you're looking for a loyal, smart, and energetic companion ready for adventure, Dwight could be your perfect match!
