Amber is a beautiful, devoted girl with all the typical qualities of a guardian breed – loyal, affectionate with her family, and naturally protective of her space.While gentle and chilled-out in the home, Amber can be wary of unfamiliar faces, if she doesn’t immediately recognise someone approaching – especially when she’s being handled by her family – she may growl to communicate her discomfort. This behaviour isn’t unusual for guardian breeds, but it does mean Amber needs adopters who understand and respect the instincts she was bred for. With the right handling and calm, confident leadership, she relaxes beautifully.At home, Amber is wonderfully laid-back – she loves to relax, nap, and enjoy peaceful downtime. She’ll need physically strong adopters simply because of her size and breed type, but beyond that, she asks for very little – kindness, understanding, and a home that appreciates who she is.Amber’s Ideal Home:
