Great Pyrenees and Basset Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in Eugene, Oregon

Mama Kay
2 years, spayed female, 50 lbs
Pyrenees, Bassett Hound, Cattle Dog mix

Mama Kay has raised her pups (Alpha Guardian litter) and this farm dog is now ready to find her forever home. She is the sweetest girl and loves all the people and pets. She is true to her breeding, and is a fantastic alarm for intruders. She is medium energy but loves to play and romp with an active dog similar in size in her foster home.

LIKES: Barking like it's her job (it is); chewing bones, tough chews, etc. Sleeping on soft beds and cushions or cool floors.

DISLIKES: Car rides and listening to requests to stop barking.

TRAITS: Friendly with everyone, she takes her role as intruder deterrent seriously. But she would probably welcome a stranger into the house and let them rub her belly. She loves walks and opportunities to sniff and explore new places and things. She likes being outside and resting at her sentry position.

POTTY TRAINING: She is mostly potty trained but has had some accidents when she wasn't able to get outside. She signals and stands by the door if inside.

CRATE TRAINING: She has been putting herself in a crate with a cushy dog bed to rest while at her foster home, but she resists bring put in a crate when she knows she will be closed in sometimes. She doesn't howl or bark when in a crate in general though. She has shown a tendency to chew items when left unattended and free to roam, so use of a crate when leaving her alone is recommended, unless a secure space without any items (like wooden furniture) is available.

Overall Mama Kay is a great dog and joy to have around. We want to find her a home where her skills are appreciated and where she can be her best self. No apartments or homes without yards, or homes in densely populated neighborhoods. She barks at cats but wouldn't hurt one.

The Basset Hound is a unique and recognizable breed known for its long body, droopy ears, and soulful eyes. Originating from France, they were originally bred for hunting small game like rabbits due to their keen sense of smell and sturdy build. Despite their laid back and affectionate nature, Basset Hounds are also persistent and independent thinkers, which can make training a bit challenging. With their low energy levels and love for lounging, they make wonderful companion dogs for families seeking a loyal and easygoing pet.

The Great Pyrenees is a majestic and noble breed known for its gentle demeanor and steadfast loyalty. Originating from the Pyrenees Mountains, these large and dignified dogs are renowned for their protective instincts and ability to work as livestock guardians. With their stunning white coats and imposing stature, Great Pyrenees exude an air of regal confidence while also possessing a gentle and affectionate nature towards their families. Their calm and composed demeanor coupled with their innate guardian instincts make them excellent companions for those seeking a devoted and majestic canine friend.
