alk over and say hi as we walk around the block of our neighborhood. She is not afraid or skittish. She loves children and adults alike. She is not spooked by fireworks, thunder, or loud noises. She is a very secure dog. Daisy has completed several training classes, where she engages real time with many other people and other dogs. She is very well adjusted, and not reactionary. She has also been day-boarded and overnight boarded, and also does very well in those environments. She loves to play, and has a friendly nature. She listens well to the individuals running the daycare. In years past she has shown there are very few smaller dogs which she asserts some dominance, but has never been overtly aggressive and could be due to being an adolescent. She also responds well to the other dogs in the community, and we have had two cats at home, and she responds very well to the two cats. She does bark from the house when she sees other people walking very close to our house. She is protective in that manner, but not when walking around the block. Presently several times a day we tie Daisy out back using a 30 ft lead, as we do not have a fenced in back yard. Daisy also loves a 20-30 minute walk later in the day, no matter the weather. She loves to run. Whether in the snow, the beach, fields and mountains. Daisy has excellent health profile. No immune system or gastric issues. Very robust digestive system. She loves a peanut butter and milk bone treat every morning, and we provide rawhide type bones several times a week. Daisy loves to give big hugs, and loves to play. She even makes up her own games by throwing her stuffed animals to herself, and running around outside. She is a lovely dog. Clean. Not smelly. She is not food-protective at all with humans, but with the house cats. Her breed is 50/50 Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherd. She would fit very well into a loving family who also love to interact with their dog as a family member, most likely OK even with another dog in the family. She loves to touch, and snuggle. At night she is comfortable sleeping on a modest dog bed at the foot of the human bed, or as allowed she is also fine being given free access the house, and she’ll find a place she likes to sleep wherever. She is 100% potty trained. No accidents ever. She understands commands sit, stay, lay down, leave it (yucky stuff on the road), heel, and (especially if a treat is offered) come. She can be trusted entirely when we leave, even for 4-6 hours at a time. But our routine is typically to not exceed that, except in rare cases. Where she actually has done fine. But for her comfort we like to ensure she can be let out on a fair schedule. Daisy was adopted as a puppy from Barking Dog Farm Rescue. Sadly life can change quickly healthwise and her family have made the very difficult decision to rehome her.
