11/05/2015:  Gladys has come a long way in a few short weeks.  She is great with other dogs and cats,  loves to play with them. all.    She is definitely crate trained.  Her favorite is to be rubbed on her forehead and cuddled.  She would benefit a fenced in backyard so she can run.  Since we have been fostering Gladys we have noticed that she is scared and needs to be with someone who will have the patience to reassure her that all is well.

10/28/2015: Glayds and her 3 babies (known as the Pips) were pulled from a high kill shelter.  She is so sweet and mellow and loves to be petted.  She will lay down and let you stroke her head for as long as you want to.  She is good on a leash and has not had any  accidents  in her crate so far.  She is scared right now and understandably so.  She would prefer to be out of her crate then in.  Gladys seems great with other dogs big and small and we can cat test her if needed.  All she needs is love and a forever home of her own to finally relax and be at peace.  Gladys is heartworm positive.  We will supply her with 6 months of heartguard at time of adoption.  We use the slow kill method on our dogs and will supply information.

It is an extremely courageous and intelligent guard dog that is very full of vitality. They are highly protective of their owners and the owner's property. It is usually very friendly, but has an uncanny ability to know when it needs to protect and when everything is okay. Excellent with children in the family, they have a high pain tolerance and will happily put up with rough child play. As with any breed, they should not be left alone with unfamiliar children. Used as all around working farm dogs, they were referred to as "the poor mans horse". They are strong and generally weigh between 40 and 70 lbs. They have a life expectancy of about 12 - 14 years.
