Story
Meet Mauna Kea! Mauna Kea is a 3 month old Kangal mix, searching for her forever home. Mauna Kea is a lively and energetic pup who is always ready for an adventure! With a playful spirit and boundless enthusiasm, Mauna Kea is the perfect companion for an active family looking to add a burst of joy and excitement to their lives. This spirited little pup loves to run, jump, and explore, and she is eager to learn new tricks and games. Mauna Kea is at the age where training and routine are critical, so she needs the consistency, patience and love of her new guardian to show her the ways of developing into a mature and fulfilled adult dog. Adopters are encouraged to attend puppy obedience classes, but the basics are a must - leash training, socializing with people and other dogs, and, of course, house training. Mauna Kea won't be a puppy forever, and as she grows, there are some important things to keep in mind about her breed. Mauna Kea is presumed to be a Kangal mix, however we cannot guarantee this is 100% accurate without a DNA test. The Kangal is a large, powerful, and muscular Turkish livestock guardian known for being independent, courageous, and protective. They are loyal and gentle with their families but reserved with strangers, and not recommended for novice owners. These massive dogs require a lot of room and are not suited for small dwellings due to its size, strength, and energy. Highly independent and often stubborn, the Kangal can be challenging for inexperienced owners to train. Early socialization and consistent, experienced training are crucial due to their protective instincts and independence.So if you're looking for a fun-loving, rambunctious friend to keep you on your toes, Mauna Kea is the perfect match!
