My first meeting with Mandy and I was expecting a real handful from the off but after lots of kisses she was easy to harness and walk out of the kennels, ignoring the barking around her.
She didn’t pull and was very responsive as a general rule but did show great interest in other dogs out walking and took some controlling. However, once the dog had passed by she was very sweet offering her paw as a sort of apology! I think she probably needs to relax around them and socialise with them and she would be fine.
A beautiful looking dog, and so loving, let’s hope someone with time and patience comes along for her soon. With a bit of reassurance and training I think there’s a little beauty just waiting to get out!

Mandy and I went out on Friday for our first walk together. I’d read that she was unsure around other dogs so we set out with walker Simon and her kennel neighbour Chelsey to build up Mandy’s experience with other dogs. Mandy wasn’t too keen on Chelsey to start but with reassurance from me and keeping a respectable distance, Mandy soon settled into a nice easy pace and loose on the lead. Back at kennels Mandy was super affectionate in her kennel giving me lots of cuddles and kisses. Mandy is a super girl looking for the right home to provide the love and consistency she needs

I’ve met Mandy a couple of times now and have to report that she’s a treat monster as well as a cuddle monster.

She can be dog reactive but with her new Cani halter she walked past a Labrador and sat nicely for a treat as they walked on. She just needs to build her confidence.
We went into the paddock after our walk and she enjoyed pottering about and cuddles, really lovely dog who needs a home to continue to help her grow and develop her doggie skills xx

Sweet Mandy and I went for a walk on Friday. Given the warm day we went for a shorter walk. Mandy was just happy to be out. We found out that she loves spotting squirrels and loves greeting other humans. We stopped to sit in a shady spot so we could take photos and she quickly settled against my knee. Mandy is truly a sweet and special girl. A joy to be with

Such a cutie is Mandy, very happy to be out on her walk, loves her sniffing around and loves a cuddle. We have found out she likes little bits of apply to eat and enjoyed a paddle in the stream.
Needs her own family to love her and carry on with her doggie socialisation. She really is coming on leaps and bounds with her kennel walkers. Xx
Re: Mandy Staffie x Mastiff DofB ?2010 Guildford Kenns
Loves her walks and cuddles, needs a human to give her lots of love and continue with her doggie training. She does find the hype of kennels hard but is very responsive to her walker when out and about.
Please read her profile below for more info on this sweet, loving girl
