One of the worlds most GIGANTIC dog breeds | The incredible Turkish Boz Shepherd

He still has the wobbly legs omg

[@debraeuler1674]

He's still a puppy. Big dog like that aren't really finished growing until they are nearly THREE. Unlike most other huge dogs, Boz shepherds live a long life, frequently to 12 and even 15 years. Because they're an old, naturally occurring breed, not a recent one.

[@NerdyHousewifey]

@danielleking262 she was a euthanasia rescue and had dog aggression so I had to call ahead and make sure the bathing place had no other dogs and pay to use the place (she was too big for our tub but needed it after the shelter) so it was a lot of build up for her to just refuse to go in 😅 so we just cuddled and cried until we figured something out.

my rescue is terrified of open top boxes (like the bath tub) and she's terrified of the sprinkler/ hose AND she is dog-reactive (she's my anxiety girl). so I bathe her in a walk-in shower.... but I just discovered that she likes to swim in ponds, so I'm not even trying to understand
