In Mythology, Atlas was one of the second-generation Titans. He personified the quality of endurance. In one tradition, Atlas led the Titans in a rebellion against Zeus and was condemned to bear the heavens upon his shoulders. In another, he was said to have been appointed guardian of the pillars which held earth and sky asunder. He was also the god who instructed mankind in the art of astronomy, a tool which was used by sailors in navigation and farmers in measuring the seasons. These roles were often combined and Atlas becomes the god who turns the heaven on their axis, causing the stars to revolve. He is one of our first generation pups and is an excellent Boerboel. He is very easy going and laid back, but ironically is also high energy. He is displaying excellent confirmation, speed, and agility. I have seen him more than once clear our couch in one jump. At present, he is 28" tall, and weighs 135 pounds. He is very muscular and is a very intense brindle color with a strong black mask. Atlas parents' are Chaos and Hera.
