Kramer Great Pyrenees & Anatolian Shepherd Mix Newberg, OR

Kramer is a happy-go-lucky 1 1/2 year old Great Pyrenees, Golden Retriever, and Lab cross. He is extremely friendly meeting new people or animals. He thinks everyone is his best friend! He LOVES to play with dogs of all sizes, but is very respectful to dogs who do not want to play. He is perfectly fine with smaller dogs, and will get on the ground and sometimes roll on his back to play with them to even things out. He is also fine with children of all ages, and is learning to not jump up on you (which would be his only negative trait around children)
A few things to know about Kramer that can be a deal breaker is that he can(and will) jump over any fence under 6 foot tall, so he must go to a home with a suitable fence. He has attempted to dig a couple of times, but will stop once told to stop. May not be best to be left outside too long without watching him, just to be sure.
Being he is a Pyrenees mix, he is a "livestock guardian" at heart and just wants to wander around, but this also means he is protective of his home. He is not a bite risk whatsoever, but he will bark if someone knocks at the door, or if he can see through your fence. Kramer is very easy to distract, and will generally leave it alone as soon as you ask him to.
Kramer is still getting used to jumping into the car, but he has already come a long way in less than a month and jumps in on his own most of the time. While in the car, Kramer will sometimes bark or growl at people he sees. This is also getting a lot better in a short period of time now that he realizes most people (baristas and gas station workers usually) are just trying to give him a treat and say hello!
Lastly, he is working on leash manners. He has chewed through a few harnesses and leashes, so we will be getting him a "metal leash" so that he cannot do so. Since no such harness exists, he is best on a "martingale" style collar-sized appropriately of course NOT a "choke" collar.
Considering he cannot wear a harness, he does pull on his walks and he is very strong. He is a great listener, however, so if you ask him not to pull he will generally stop.
Besides those few quirks that Kramer has, he is an absolutely wonderful dog. He is great in almost every situation he has been in, and is a fast learner.
He would love to cuddle in bed, but is also perfectly fine to sleep in his own bed. He is kennel trained, but does bark sometimes while in a kennel especially if he sees you. He is 99% potty trained, he has only made 1 mess at his foster mom's home during the night, but he went right by the door so he just wasn't sure how to ask her to be let out.
He would be fine in a home with or without other animals, as he loves to play but is just as happy to get all of the attention. He is fine with dogs in a setting where toys or food is involved, whereas a lot of dogs wouldn't be. He is gentle with his foster mom's 1 year old son, and her elderly parents, but would also love kids that can run around and play with him.
He is a great hiking buddy, and although he wouldn't be an "off leash candidate" he is wonderful on a long-lead and will swim in a pond while wearing one if you let him. He was found as a puppy running around a highway with his siblings, unfortunately one had perished before Hazel's House was able to step in. He was in a home for a while with a wonderful family, but they unfortunately had to move to a place that wouldn't have been suitable for him, so he is back with us and staying with a foster who works at a dog daycare where Kramer does great and gets to see one of his siblings, Ellie!
Kramer is just waiting for his fur-ever family to see him and instantly fall in love!
