Reply #25: Golden Pyrenees.

My last dog was one and she was just amazing. She was loving but independent and rather aloof and territorial, she had some chow in there too. She was sporty and outdoorsy loved to hike and I felt very safe with her. Plus she was just gorgeous and BIG, 100lbs. I want another one.

My dog now is a real mutt, I can't even tell what breeds she may be.

She kinda looks like a golden spitz or a huge POM; she's just 40-45lbs, her ears stick straight up, she has golden fur and a fluffy tail and is a fierce little hunter and just so incredibly affectionate with me but very shy with others. And she has never run out of the yard or down the street and hardly ever barks, she's quiet. And she doesn't have that guarding instinct either but she's great in the woods with me, she's very athletic and loves to go for long hikes and is so very cute and lovable.

I got her from a shelter. They said she would be a large dog which to me meant 80-100lbs. It's been an adjustment getting used to her size.
