Anatolian Shepherd - CousCous -

Young, female Anatolian Shepherd due in next week.
More details to follow once she has arrived and we get to know her.
CousCous will be looking for an experienced home.
Found as a stray

Shaun and I picked up Causcaus yesterday she traveled well in the car, she was in the same car as Trevor without any problems

She looks gorgeous

Walked Cous-Cous on Monday evening. She was initally a little pully on the leash but soon settled and was gentle and easy to walk with. She was interested in sniffing and although curious about the other dogs chose not to interact, showing neither interest or anxiety. Cous -Cous only arrived today so must be feeling a little overwhelmed, however she took everything in her stride and was happy to have some attention. She is a graceful and pretty girl

She looks a lovely girl ... have to ask though, cous-cous? How did that happen?

That is what they named her at the pound we did not name her

Yesterday she was a very loving girl wants to be with people she was not showing any signs of wanting to play with the other dogs she ignored them really, she seems a very gentle soul

Im totally the smitten-kitten with this girlie

What is it with these Anatolian girls

She is the most gentle, loving, cuddly young lady you could ever wish to meet.

She walked beautifully on the lead today, stopping for a kiss & cuddle every now & then.

Spent ages grooming her which she absolutely loved - she'd still be sitting there now
if she had her way!

She tried having a play with Jessie out in the runs but Jessie blew her off in favour of Roly

Love, love, LOVE her

Oh, my!

Must stop looking on here

Her and Kurt Cobain would make a beautiful pair of dogs for someone ..............


If my Euro Lottery on Tuesday (119 million) comes up I will be straight down there!!!
