NO DOGS. NO CATS. NO DOG PARKS
Pépé is an absolutely fantastic, fun loving boy. He is lean, long legged, and very athletic! Though you wouldn't necessarily expect it from his mixed breed appearance, and livestock guardian grandparentage, he definitely has strong sport potential. He absolutely loves to play with toys, retrieve, swim, and has been started chasing disc rollers! While his engagement focus and drive to work with you is not as strong as say a German Shepherd, his independent thought just adds a little extra fun to your training challenges. He is still however very engaged, and has strong potential to go in a lot of directions. He's not a boy to sit on the sidelines, and is not going to be happy in a home that doesn't give him a focus and outlet for his high energy and drive.
Pépé has matured into an individual that gets very jealous and possessive of his handler around other dogs. He's not reactive, and I have zero problem taking him out on pack group hikes, or other such structured environments. But he is absolutely not a dog to have canine socials, and is looking for a home as an only dog. He absolutely can, and will start a fight. No cats for the same reason as I cannot test and guarantee what his temperament will be like, and I do not wish to see any cats harmed.
Pépé absolutely LOVES people! He has become a bit more reserved in his teenage months, but is generally still quick social with proper introductions. He is happy to live in a home with all ages, with proper boundaries and structure. He's not a pushover dog, and if you're the type of person that likes to use force, or coercion to try and get your way, it's not going to be a successful relationship. He definitely is a dog that needs to see the benefit from his side as well, but is truly a joy to work with. For the active family who loves to adventure, explore the wilderness, and dabble in some sports whether backyard, or beginner entry level, he will make an amazing companion!
Pépé is good for the vet, tolerant of grooming, excellent in his crate, and has decent general manners. He will very much benefit from training with his new family, to be the best canine companion he can be. He's fairly quiet, and generally no trouble, as long as his exercise, and mental needs have been met for the day. He does still get car sick, although he's getting a lot better with it, and I'm hopeful he will eventually completely grow out of it.
Pépé is a dog with many, many wonderful qualities. Yes he's a mixed breed, but that doesn't mean he's any less awesome than the German Shepherds or Rottweilers here at the rescue. To meet him is to fall in love with him, so all it takes is that one application, for him to find forever happiness. If this people loving, adventure boy sounds like your perfect match, please message for an application to start the process. He looks forward to meeting you soon!
