Baynard is a commanding presence wrapped in thick fur and quiet wisdom. Likely a Caucasian Shepherd, this is no ordinary dog—he is a true Livestock Guardian Breed, bred for strength, independence, and loyalty. With Baynard, respect is everything. He doesn’t take kindly to being micromanaged or handled like a lapdog. He doesn’t want to be stared down, and he doesn’t want to share your bed. What he does want is simple: space, purpose, and someone who understands his language.
Baynard thrives in a low-key, rural environment with plenty of land to roam. He’s a dog who was born to be outside, observing his world from a cool, shaded spot or patrolling the perimeter with calm confidence. He may not beg for affection, but don’t be fooled—he loves his people deeply in his own dignified way. He’ll lean into your leg when you groom him, offer his paw when he’s at ease, and stand by you with quiet devotion.
Though he has food aggression with other dogs, Baynard otherwise coexists well with canine companions—even dominant males. His best friend is a mini Great Dane, proving that size isn’t everything in the friendship department. He’s also good with cats, but children aren’t a fit for him. He needs a calm, experienced adult home that understands the instincts and boundaries of an LGD.
Baynard has his playful side too. He lights up over a game of fetch and turns into a giant, goofy puppy, bounding around with his enormous paws and surprising lightness. It’s a joy to watch, and a glimpse of the tender soul inside the stoic exterior.
Baynard is not for the faint of heart or first-time dog owners. He’s for the few who truly know what it means to live with a working guardian—a dog who thinks for himself and needs partnership, not command. If you have experience with Caucasian Shepherds or similar LGD breeds, Baynard could be the kind of dog who changes your life.
He’s not just looking for a home. He’s looking for someone who speaks his language. Please share his story beyond our usual circle of Great Dane lovers—Baynard’s person might be out there, just waiting to meet him.
Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!

More about this rescue
To rescue Great Danes from neglect, abuse, and abandonment while providing medical care and individual rehabilitation through our experienced and loving foster home program until we are able to provide each rescued Dane with a qualified, caring, and permanent home that will ensure a good quality of life they deserve.
To assist owners that cannot afford spaying, neutering or heartworm treatment as funds allow while also educating owners on affordable, local spay/neuter clinics, spay/neuter benefits, vaccinations, backyard breeding, behavior, nutrition, and obedience. Additionally, we want to be a link point to other rescues and clubs. Raising awareness around rescues and the Great Dane breed is of great importance to us.
We have been rescuing Great Danes since 2011 and we take pride in the collective love, concern, and dedication we have given to the misunderstood and forgotten Danes. It is our mission to continue to be the voices of the less fortunate Danes and to provide them safety and their birthright to a quality of life filled with love and dignity. You can help us achieve our mission by donating funds, items from our wishlist, items of relevance, your time through volunteering, or by lending your home as a foster.
