Story
Remy is a beautiful young Great Pyrenees that was surrendered by his owners because of a family health crisis. Remy is up to date on all his shots, is neutered and even had the Gatropexy procedure due to his deep rib cage. This is a life saving procedure that protects large dogs from the risk of stomach torsion.Remy is a very sweet dog that is young and full of energy. He never had a chance to live fully his puppy years. His owners who got Remy from other folks found that he spent his puppyhood tied to a trailer. Remy is good with other dogs and good with cats as long as nobody tries to take his toys or his snacks. Remy adores children. Remy is doing ok on walks. He pulls some but self-corects when pulled back. He will benefit from some leash training. Remy does well in his crate and has no accidents in the crate. When out of the crate he whines to let people know that he needs to go the bathroom. Remy loves to be outside and would love a home with a large fenced yard.

Adopting a Akbash

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Akbash - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt an Akbash at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting an Akbash is typically $50 to $300. This adoption fee often covers an initial exam, spay/neuter, vaccines, preventatives, and microchipping. In contrast, buying an Akbash from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $800 to $2,500.

The easiest way to adopt an Akbash is through a rescue that specializes in Akbash dogs or giant breeds in general. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Akbashs in your search radius.

Akbash fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Akbash is a mixture of both sighthound and molosser (mastiff) types of dog.

The Akbash is not commonly seen as a companion breed. They are a very popular choice for working farm dogs, as both guardians and shepherds.

"Akbash" comes from the Turkish "Akbas," which means "white head." Dogs used in guarding livestock are almost always white so as to better blend in with the ones they are protecting, and to visually stand apart from their predators.
