This big, happy goofball is about 10 months old and currently around 74 lbs. He's a German Shepherd / Great Pyrenees mix. Apollo is one of the sweetest and smartest young dogs you'll meet. He loves receiving hugs, soaking up all the pets, and hanging out with his people. He's a huge fan of running around outside, chasing balls, being chased around, solving food puzzles, and chewing on sticks he finds in the yard. He also adores snow and is comfortable with regular grooming.
Ideal Home
Apollo would thrive in a home with a fenced backyard and someone who works from home or can give him plenty of exercise and attention. He needs a cat-free home as he gets too excited and plays way too rough with them.
Ongoing Health
Apollo had some digestive issues early on, which may have been a reaction to NexGard Plus. He is now doing awesome on Purina Sensitive Stomach food with added fiber and probiotics.
Training & Support
He knows commands like sit, down, wait, shake, and crate, and he's mat trained. He is working on his leash walking after some cold-weather regression, and he's still improving on "come." He can be high-energy and playful when it's time to play. He is crate trained and can stay in his crate for several hours when needed.
