I hope Odin got lots of love and treats for that one.
We have a puppy now, a pretty Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd mix named Bear. Five months old, 58 pounds. (He’s also known as “Panzerdog” and “Dog Mclargehuge.”) I don’t know whether the Pyr or the GSD is going to come out in his personality, but I am hoping he will end up being a good guard dog someday. Right now, he’s a big furry ball of mush that lets the Chihuahuas down the street absolutely own him.

You never really know 100% what you’re going to get with a puppy.
We bought a Golden Retriever puppy. He was supposed to become a companion dog for my aged father, and since Goldens are not aggressive, worthless as a watchdog.
Wrong! He has grown up to be a terrific watchdog.
Dad fell and broke his hip a month after we acquired the puppy, and landed in a convalescent home for an extended stay. Meanwhile, puppy is rolling adult Labradors at doggie day care because he was too aggressive with other puppies his own age and size.
At age 8 months this puppy killed and ate a Mallard duck that landed in our backyard. Puppy weighed 60 lbs. at the time, and had become a ferocious watch dog.
He is now 3-1/2 years old, weighs 80 lbs. of solid muscle and is anything but a couch potato. Would probably make a good duck retriever - if I could prevent him from stealing off to eat the duck! Oh, and he is a typical Golden in so far as he loves his family. Just doesn’t trust strangers.
So, if your Great Pyranees/German Shepherd turns out to a lovey, don’t fret.
