Story
Tig is a very friendly people dog but does not do well with other dogs. A very smart high energy dog who can be a goof ball at times. Tig loves to be outside and does great in the winter months. Some fixable issues with being territorial when it comes to toys but pretty normal stuff. As far as his behavior with other dogs, he initially did not have any issues until we got a new puppy which was fine at first and then things deteriorated so we found the puppy a new home. Tog does not have any natural aggression but after face to fave with another dog he usually becomes agitated. Tig typically does not pay much attention to other dogs when on a leash and outside.

Story
Rehoming a Beautiful 2-Year-Old Female Central Asian Shepherd It truly breaks my heart to do this, but seeking a new, suitable home for our loyal and protective Central Asian Shepherd. Shes 2 years old, microchipped, spayed, and up-to-date on all her shots. Shes been very spoiled and well cared for, and I have her Embark report verifying her pure bloodline. About Her: Guarding Ability: Shes a natural protector of property and livestock. Shes exceptional with chickens, never lost one or harmed one. Best Fit: A farm or property to watch over, ideally with no other dogs and no young children, as shes resource guarding me, which is not ideal with little ones around. Personality: This sweet girl just needs a quieter environment where she can focus on her job and be a devoted companion in a calm, adult household. She deserves a home where she can thrive and be appreciated for her protective instincts. If you think your farm or property would be a great fit, please reach out.
