Maximilian Great Pyrenees & Labrador Retriever Mix WARNER ROBINS, GA

Maximilian finds himself back at the rescue looking for his true furever home. At almost 8 years old, he is coming into his senior years due to being an extra large breed. As in 120lb, extra large size haha.

Max had a family for his first 7 years of his life. When his daddy became ill, he came to Paws. The family that adopted him was not prepared to meet his needs to keep him from getting bored which is why he finds himself looking for pawrents understanding of his breed and needs.

Max is described as a very affectionate, loving velcro dog. His mama was a purebred yellow lab, so he has a beautiful cream coat. His father was a purebred Great Pyranees so his body is pyrenees sized. He is a gorgeous boy overall, but did you look at those eyes?? Stunning!

He's been absolutely loved his entire life. He's a great family dog. Loves children, but thinks cats are gross. He's a giant teddy bear that draws attention anywhere he goes due to his size. He's not met a stranger he didn't like. He currently shares a room (both in seperate kennels) with a pup named Molly with zero issues or concerns

Here are the very few quirks of Max.
- He gets along well with other dogs, so long as food is not involved. He needs to be fed seperate from any other animals in the house.
- Max needs regular exercise or a job to get his energy out. If you are looking for a couch potato - he is not for you. If he doesn't have an outlet, his inner Lab comes out and he will dig.
- Gate latches will need to be secured as he can quickly figure out how to open them.
- He will need owners that will work with him on training. Mainly recall. Great Pyranees are known for requiring owners that are diligent in maintaining training. As a guardian breed, they were bred to think for themselves (how to guard their flock, where all their charges are and how to find/round them up, etc), so they can be stubborn.

Overall, Max is very well behaved. He has quickly become a volunteer favorite. He's fabulous in the car (which needs to be big - he fills the hatch area of a Dodge Journey!). Walks well on a leash. Enjoys being brushed. Happy to stretch out at your feet or on a doggy bed (a big one!!) Max is comprised of two highly intelligent breeds. The possibilities of what he could be taught are endless. As you can see by the pictures, Max loves water. Swimming is a great outlet for energy too.
