Tex is the most reserved of the three brothers — and that is exactly why winning him over feels so special. Where Tom jumps in and Sawyer keeps up, Tex watches first. He takes a little longer to decide you are his. And once he has decided? Oh, you are so loved.
Tex is gentle, affectionate, treat motivated, and a cuddle bug who enjoys people, other dogs, petting, and hard chew toys. He has done great around children ages 2 and 5. He does not like being completely alone, he will bark for a few minutes when left, and he startles at quick movements and loud sounds — he runs, he does not lash out — but with time and routine, that startle is softening more every day.
He is neutered and did great after surgery. Like his brothers, he is kennel trained — no accidents when kenneled — and used to getting a biscuit when he is put up. He is learning sit and lay, and he is still learning the leash, where he tends to hit the ground at first. And fair warning, in the best way: Tex does not sit still! He is the hardest of the three to photograph, and the easiest to laugh at.
Tex is the dog for someone who does not need instant, effusive affection to feel chosen. He is for someone who understands that the quiet dog who finally leans into you has given you something bigger than a greeting. He has given you his trust — and his whole heart.
Picture it: Tex, after a few days in your home, no longer watching from the edge of the room — asleep near you, because he has stopped checking whether you are going to disappear. You are not. You are his.
**Good to know:** Great Pyrenees mix puppy, the middle-sized of the Tom / Sawyer / Tex trio, and the most reserved of the three. Neutered, kennel trained with no accidents when kenneled, accustomed to a biscuit when put up, learning sit and lay, still learning the leash, does not sit still. Gentle, affectionate, treat motivated, cuddle bug, good around young children. Barks briefly when left, dislikes being completely alone, startles at quick movements and loud sounds, runs rather than showing aggression. Adoption fee $250.
