Meet Carmy! 🐻 Yes, that Carmy — named after Carmen from the TV series The Bear, because as you can see, he’s basically a tiny teddy bear in puppy form.
Carmy is a playful and friendly yet independent little guy! He loves playtime — especially tug of war, romping around outside, and wrestling with his foster siblings. He also enjoys cozy naps (though usually on the floor or dog bed as he’s not a big cuddler), a good chew, and playing with toys of all kinds. He is happy to entertain himself with toys but loves to be near his humans! He’s working on potty training, and is doing well with crate training and settling when left alone.
Like most puppies his age, Carmy is very much in the teething phase and is learning appropriate mouth manners with people and other dogs. He can be very nippy as he explores the world with his mouth, which may be part of his breed instinct and can be normal for a 10-week-old pup but may make a home with small children a little tricky right now as he learns and grows.
Now for the question everyone wants to know: what breed is he? Your guess is as good as ours! Based on looks (and his equally adorable siblings), his fosters personal guess for Carmy is a Shepnees (Australian Shepherd x Great Pyrenees). Though he could be a mix with Australian Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, Newfoundland, Collie, or something else entirely! Aka he is a dog with a whole lot of fluff, loyalty, brains, and potential size packed into one cute pup.
What that could mean for his future family:
• He will likely grow into a medium to large dog
• He’ll need daily outdoor time and room to explore
• Smart, working or herding-type breeds thrive with training, structure, and mental enrichment
• He may enjoy having a “job” — hikes, exploring, learning new skills
• Early and continued socialization and training will be important as he grows
• Fluffy coat = regular brushing recommended (worth it, we promise)
Carmy would do best with active adopter(s) ready to invest in puppy training, enrichment, and adventures. In return, you’ll get a loyal, affectionate companion who wants to be involved in your life and grow alongside you. If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, and adorable floof who will thrive with guidance and love — Carmy might be your guy 🐾
