Akbash puppies and dogs in Bellingham, Washington

Let me introduce you to the type of dog that feels like he has always been yours. Familiar, warm, a gentle soul we call Camo. He’s a guy with calm presence and a set of warm eyes that say, "tell me all about it, I’m here to listen.” Camo greets familiar people just the same as “strangers,” warm, wiggly, and genuinely welcoming. The best part is that despite his size, nothing about his approach is overwhelming, he understands his size and doesn’t use it to push his way into your attention. Take a look at this boy then come back to read more -https://youtu.be/NirsvWgi-4k The very first day we met Camo he amazed us, there wasn’t a single thing he didn’t do well by our standards.. He was incredibly sweet with people but also showed great dog-to-dog skills. He’s playful, confident, and good at "reading the room" with other dogs- knowing when to chase and when to chill. Plus, he has great leash skills, sure he gets excited for a moment about going on a walk with you but within a few minutes he settles in to an easy pace. Camo’s very first dog interaction was polite and friendly. He stood almost two times taller than her an almost like he wanted her to know he was sweet, he adorably licked her head right away. As he was introduced to more dogs his playful side really came out but only with the dogs that invited it and matched his energy, he wasn’t as playful with more reserved dogs. That is a wonderful skill in a dog! With an extremely playful female, he was eager to play. Because of this, we think Camo would do best with a goofy and fun-loving female playmate. He is even a perfect doggie-day-care boy,— he has the right social skills and temperament for a group setting. Camo reminds me of a lovable little brother — always ready for an adventure with you and just happy to be invited. He would be a wonderful family dog just as easily as the dream wing-man to a single someone. He’s gentle enough not to overwhelm people and seems like he would absolutely love kids. Based on everything we’ve seen, he has that playful, affectionate energy that would make him a fantastic family dog. An ideal home would be a house with a yard over an apartment. While he is a pretty chill guy overall, he does have bursts of energy and playfulness that a backyard would help channel. He has potential for suburban or more rural life, but he’s probably not cut out for the hustle and bustle of a busy city environment. And as much as he is friendly and fun-loving, when he met our house cat he thought he was making a new friend but because of his size, he ended up just scaring him. His love of chase will not be matched by a feline friend so a kitty-free home will be best for him. Physically, Camo's demeanor and look lead us to believe he is an Anatolian Shepherd mix, approximately 1 year old. He currently weighs 51 lbs — a number that surprised us given his long legs (turns out a lot of it is fluff!). Breed and age are estimates, he is a rescue after all but he is essentially at his full-grown size — that perfect midsize dog if you as me! Camo is ready to bring his friendly, fun-loving adventurous spirit into your world. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who can keep up with your adventures but also settle in for some quiet snuggles, Camo might just be your perfect match. Looks, charm, playfulness, and a sweet, steady heart — that’s Camo, and he’s ready to be your guy! Questions?

Loving, obedient, smart, curious, and adventure-ready? That’s Darla! A wonder dog through and through, this girl is great with other dogs, highly trainable, treat motivated, and is a cutie in a unique coat. One of my favorite things about Darla is how well balanced her energy is, if she gets excited, she is back to calm in just a moment, if she is a bit nervous- she gets curious, checks it out and just like that she is confident. Take a look at her in action then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/mCwsTJdbJdY Darla is so fortunate to be in a loving foster home while she waits for her forever family. This allows her to learn and practice all the best manners and skills a house dog needs. This also gives us a true front row seat to her personality. Her foster family has nothing but praise for her. From how easily she fit right in to her quick learning of everything. From house training to manners around meals, she is attentive to directions and consistently quick to master new skills. Thanks to that she is both house and crate trained! Her foster family shared that she has never had an accident in the house and sleeps through the night quietly in her crate. She often chooses the crate to sleep at night but on occasion she chooses a cozy dog bed. On those nights she has been perfect, sleeping peacefully through the night. Darla is estimated to be just over a year old, she weighs 53 lbs, and is likely a Pyrenees/Husky/Shepherd mix but we cannot guarantee age of breed given she is a rescue. Also, I strongly suspect she may be a dog/deer mix- she you see the speckles and spots that run down her back you will see why this is my suspicion. However and whatever she is, she has a gorgeous and unique coat. When she was introduced to other dogs she showed us a calm, friendly approach. We do know she has a playful side, she lives with another dog in her foster home and the two of them have a blast together. Unfortunately, on the day we were spending time with Darla the weather was rainy pretty much all day, which didn’t bring out the playful side in anyone. Despite that, no matter the energy of the other dog or where they met, she was calm and respectful in her approach and all together easy-going in their company. Darla would love a playmate, and enjoys having a companion to navigate the world alongside but given how quickly her confidence grows she is suited for only-dog life as well. A few toys, adventures with you, and walks around the block to greet the neighbors would be plenty to keep her happy and fulfilled! Darla’s ideal home would be one where hikes and walks are a regular occurence. A house with a yard would be best given her love of bouncing around outside and her occasional awooowooo’s. Her foster family shared that they would guess she has some Husky in her because she loves to “sing.” It is pretty cute and a expression she doesn’t use excessively. With a treat offered she will go right into focused-mode with an automatic sit and her full attention on you. That quality typically translates into a dog who trains with ease. Darla enjoys toys and can easily self-entertain. If you’re tired of playing- she doesn’t mind, she’ll just play with her toys by herself! Don’t worry, she didn’t mind sharing with the other dogs or handing it over when asked. Same with food, Darla loves food but is unbothered while sharing treats, dinner or having her bowl touched. Darla will need a cat-free home, we suspect she has never met a cat before so when introduced to one she wasn’t sure enough for us to feel confident she wouldn’t chase a cat or stress one out with her every interested approach. She’s super smart, easy company and full of so much loyal love! She’s playful but not too energetic to handle, lovey but not overly pushy about it, loyal but not too “velcro,” this girl is just the best of ALL worlds! She is 100% good dog, fluffy, beautiful and ready for a life of love! It is really impressive to see how she handles new environments, she may be uncertain but she is still at ease, takes it slow, curiously checks things out and checks in with her people. She only needs a few moments before she feels good and ready for anything. Darla is easy on leash, but prefers a harness. It didn’t take her any time to understand the leash so nothing is set in stone there, you can try both and see what you and her prefer together Darla, her soft kisses and playful love are ready for forever! If there is anything not covered here that you are curious about, please be in touch! Be are committed to ensuring Darla is the right fit for you and your life.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a pet cloud the size of a small horse? Meet Sarge. Sarge is the picture of calm confidence. A big, fluffy boy who doesn’t need much to be happy. True to his Great Pyrenees nature, he carries himself with a quiet dignity, content to simply be near those he loves. His presence is peaceful, his demeanor unshakable, and his loyalty unmatched. Sarge spent his visit simply existing and being beautiful, which, honestly, is more than enough. With his soft coat, steady eyes, and lazy-boy energy, he gave off the kind of peace that makes you want to slow down and sit beside him awhile. He didn’t seek the spotlight, but his gentle nature drew everyone in. We truly believe that Sarge is predominantly Great Pyrenees and about 2 years old. He gives off every inclination in demeanor and appearance that would lead to us making that assumption. But due to him being a rescue, age and breed are our best guesses and cannot be guaranteed. Observe the majesty of Sarge in the video below! https://youtu.be/104LjejdWWA He doesn’t rush to meet the world; instead, he watches it kindly, like a gentle guardian keeping quiet watch over his little corner. When he met our other doggies, he didn’t rush in a frenzy to get to know them. He just sniffed to gather the information he needed to know and let them be themselves as he stood watch. He would be a great addition to a pack of medium energy pups or equally as great being your one and only! With children, Sarge keeps that calm and steady attitude. He met our friend’s Kobe (4) and Cash (7) and allowed them to touch all over his face as the children were amazed at the glory of his big head. We believe that Sarge would be a great addition to a family with children due to his gentle nature. Even cats didn’t cause Sarge to break that steadfast character of his. Our housecat Biggie roamed the room as Sarge honestly just watched him with looks of approval. Sarge understands that all living things are to be respected and would be okay living in a home with dog savvy feline companions. As a true Pyrenees, Sarge needs space to stretch out, roam, and do his quiet patrolling. Apartment life wouldn’t suit him, he thrives in a home with a yard or land where he can move at his own pace. He’s not looking to run laps, but he does appreciate the freedom to explore and lounge under the open sky. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key best friend who brings calm to your chaos and comfort to your home, Sarge may be your perfect match. Is Sarge the missing piece of your family?
