Beefcake Anatolian Shepherd Mix Nashville, TN

Everyone please say hello to the most handsome Beefcake!

Beefcake is a 14 week Anatolian Shepherd mix weighing around 20lbs at the moment so we suspect this boy is going to be big in his future which is typical of a boy named Beefcake (the bigger, the better, right?). Beefcake is your typical puppy with your typical puppy manners and so whoever becomes Beefcake's person, they must know that he will need help growing into a mature young adult and will need to help him reach his full potential. His person is going to have to be committed to showing Beefcake that leash walking is actually a good thing and that household items like the vacuum are not out to get him. With some guidance, he'll be ready to take on the world in no time.

This dog is the total package as he is sweet, loving and so smart that he already knows how to sit and come when called! He is on the shy side but his confidence really blossoms around other dogs so in Beefcake's ideal home, he would have another pup to show him the ropes and help get some of his puppy energy expended. Beefcake is also a big fan of country music and cuddling under loads of warm blankets and so his ideal home would have a spot for him to lay on a bed under a pile of blankets while listening to country music and snacking on his favorite kong with peanut butter - honestly, that sounds like a good life to me!

He is currently located in TN but can travel anywhere Big Fluffy Dog Rescue travels. If you are interested in adopting the handsome Beefcake, please apply online, at https://bigfluffydogs.com/adopt/adoption-application/ and email paige@bigfluffydogs.com!

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
