Health Issue(s)

  • Allergies
  • Pancreatitis- managing well on dietary restrictions and low-fat foods

Temperament

  • Sweet, mild tempered girl that loves attention and affection.
  • Loves people time but is also content to curl up on her bed and lounge away the afternoon.
  • Reaction to allergies seems to be the reason for her chewing on her feet, we are working at determining the cause of the allergies.
  • Great with people, may bark a few times to announce that someone new is in the area but greets strangers well.
  • Tolerates grooming, including nail trims.
  • No food or possession guarding.

Owner Suitability

  • Experience with large breeds is an asset.
  • A fenced yard is a must.
  • Diamond would thrive in a home where people are around for a large part of the day.
  • Has been known to play well with other dogs but can become dominant and may loose patience with equally dominant or high-energy dogs. If there is another dog in the home, they must be determined a suitable match before the adoption process can continue.
  • She is good with children but may underestimate her size and strength. She would be best suited to a home without small children or cats.
  • Moderate energy level. Playful bursts are a regular occurrence but are usually short lived.
  • Enjoys daily walks and free time outside but prefers the company of her people.
