TodAy was gotcha day for miss Elly. She is a seven-ish year old female Dogue de Bordeaux who was obviously used as a breeder at a puppy mill. She is as sweet as they come but it will be awesome to see her personality blossom as she settles in.
So far everyone is getting along famously. She obviously does not know her name or respond to any commands so some basic training is in order. My biggest challenge is going to be she is not food driven in spite if being 5-8 lbs underweight. I've never had a dog that didn't care about any kind of treat. To get her to eat her dinner of raw ground chicken blend I had to take her away from the other dogs and hand feed her.
I think I'll try some satin balls and see if I can use those as treats.
