Allie Great Pyrenees & Golden Retriever Mix Nashville, TN

Meet Allie, a 3 year old, 80 pound golden retriever/Great Pyrenees mix! Allie is a young lady of many virtues. She is a dream on a leash and can be left loose in the house with her impeccable manners as she is perfectly housetrained. She adores children. She really, really adores children and they, in turn, adore her. Clearly, a refined young lady, she prefers the company of people to creatures of the often impolite and irritating furred variety. That is, she would prefer to be an only dog and would much appreciate your indulgence of this request. She is not fantastic with cats.

Allie is epileptic and is well-controlled with an inexpensive medication she takes twice a day. She will be perfect in the right home. Email jen.vargas@bigfluffydogs.com if you are interested in adopting Allie.

We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
