Big Bella

Big Boned, Boofy & Bellisima

Introducing Bella, she’s an amazingly affectionate girl despite a sad life up until now. Bella was used as a backyard breeder, so has had multiple litters in her eight or so years. She came to us pregnant, but also with a massive uterine infection. Sadly, after an entire weekend of labour, she lost all six puppies.

Bella is currently in foster care with a staffy, two cats and two humans. She is quite interested in the cats but responds well to correction. She has fitted in really well, but ideally she would be best as an only pet. She craves 100% attention so can get a little pushy when she has to share. As an only child (excluding the two legged variety), she would thrive and potentially become less demanding.

We believe Bella to be a mastiff x, but what the combination is is anyone’s guess. At times she looks Sharpei-ish, at others Bloodhound, Ridgy or Rotty. Whatever she is, she is lovable, cuddly and walks well on a halti lead. As with all dogs, Bella has her not so great points. She can be stubborn, she’s very strong, she wants to be center of attention and her manners need some work.

If you are looking for a loyal, lovable big dog (approx. 37kg), one who will be entirely devoted to you, then Bella may well be the girl for you.
