Bella

​Bella is a gorgeous character....she adores her people and loves a cuddle and a fuss. She's is generally very chilled out at home and loves to snooze on the sofa getting lots of belly rubs. As a guardian she absolutely will bark and alert her people to any strange sounds or unknown people etc. A semi rural/rural home would be ideal with a large secure garden/land for her to enjoy. She is a giant breed and also a guardian breed so experience of or knowledge and understanding of her breed or similar is preferred. She could live with other dogs but would do better with big dogs (labrador or bigger ideally) as she can be abit bouncy and come on abit strong for the small dogs who are typically fearful due to her size, any other dogs in the household should be calm, confident and well socialised with a sensible owner who ideally has some knowledge on canine behaviour and guardian breeds.  She hasn't been very well socialised with other dogs and is very enthusiastic when meeting dogs outdoors, wants to bounce about and play with all, she is very much a gigantic silly puppy in her mannerisms. Not at all aggressive just not sure on the rules of play and due to her size can be a bit overwhelming, she interacts beautifully with the lurchers in the rescue and has been branching out into the smaller dogs and learning to be gentler with them. She enjoys her walks and generally being outdoors exploring. She must live as an indoor dog and obviously needs a home to accommodate her size. She has lived very happily with respectful teens. She enjoys playing with toys. She has been around horses without issue. She is perfectly housetrained. She enjoys a raw diet which we can advise on. She is in good health, neutered and has had a dental whilst in rescue. Grooming and costs that accompany this should be taken into account along with some research into local groomers who could take on a giant breed.
