Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This big princess is nothing short of amazing & will steal your heart in 2 seconds flat.
Daisy was pulled from a local Utah shelter in January after being surrendered by her previous family & has since made a fully recovery from a rear amputation + E. coli infection post-surgery.
Daisy is about 103 lbs., 3.5 years old, housebroken & has enough hair to make you a fur coat once a week ;-)
Akbash (cousin to the Great Pyrenees) were also bred to protect livestock & therefore have an instinct to alert bark & be a bit stubborn as LSG do. Daisy has less of the stubbornness but will not be suitable for anyone living in an apartment, townhouse or duplex.
She is a very mellow, sweet, easy dog & loves to just hang with you. She likes to go for short quick runs/walks but tires quickly on her back leg (we are working on getting her some wheels!). She has done well with male dogs + passive females but will resource guard her toys + treats & requires slow, proper introductions. No cats.
She has done very well with children & loves them, but will not be considered for a home with children under 6 years unless they have experience being around large dogs + they must be dog-savvy.
A few non-negotiable requirements for Daisy’s new home:
•few stairs/limited access to stairs with baby gates.
•No deck, deck must be fully enclosed or have few stairs going all the way around it
•Carpeting throughout most of the house or you must be willing to place carpets/runners down for her to be safe and comfortable
•Owner must be physically able to handle Daisy + help her into a car if needed
•Myristin (joint supplement) continued for life
•Weight must be kept under control, being such a large tripod, having extra weight to carry around is not acceptable. She must also be kept on a grain free diet as she is allergic to corn.
She’s a warrior & dealt with a lot in her short life & deserves a very loving, respectful & patient family! She would love a yard to sit outside & watch mother nature go by :-)
