I posted here a few months ago about our boy Apache getting diagnosed with cancer. Well, after spending the last few months taking him to all his favorite places, eating all his favorite foods, and celebrating one last birthday, we decided it was time for him to cross the rainbow bridge. With him getting kicked by a horse and breaking his jaw, twisted stomach, numerous allergies and finally cancer we were so lucky to have 10 wonderful years with him. He was a resilient and stubborn boy that was loved so much and will be missed even more. I will miss him yelling at anything that ventured passed his yard and dragging me around town ro all his favorite spots. Anyway just wanted to share with people who understand just how special this breed is. Here is our sweet boy Apache. 😭🤍

Picture 2 is him with his sister Nakoma, that we lost to cancer on 7/31/25

Picture 4 is him with his sister Tundra, that we lost as a puppy unexpectedly on 4/13/26

My sweet boy turned 2 this past May, though he still acts very much like a puppy. You’d never guess he’s 78% Pyr or what else he is mixed with. 😍

Please enjoy some Samson zoomies:

I don't know where he stashes these, but he pulls them out on rainy days to chew 🤣 Judge 15mo

I lost my soul dog Jupiter (great pyr mix) this March. Please help me welcome my new angel puppy, another pyr mix, Opal. Just sent off her dna kit the other day - guesses on her other breeds? I’m head over heels in love with her.

Now show me those pyr paw moments! 🤩

this is my boy zed, he’s 7 months old. he’s a belgian malinois/great pyr/german shepherd mix. he’s the best boy ever, super smart, loyal, and my fiancé and i’s best friend. i’m curious how tall he’s gonna be, he’s currently at 26 in to shoulder height.
