She is very respectful and gentle. She is a large dog, therefore she may knock over a child if not watching.Temperament: Yetti is easy going and shows a desire to please her owners.

Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? Yetti loves going after smells when on a walk. She is currently being trained to walk on a leash. Because of her size, she can pull a person around very easily with her desire to go after a smell. But, she is showing good responsiveness to verbal commands during the walks. Yetti is a gentle giant. She shows absolutely no signs of aggression. She does desire to be a companion to her owner and is very connected to her "people". She will follow you into whatever room you are in. When left home alone, she quietly whines for about 5 minutes and then settles down. She will wait at the window until your return.
