ON THE FENCE?
JUST READ THESE:
“Sophee get's along great with my Aussie and is very protective.”
Thanks to Casa de Taveras for my beautiful new Estrela Mountain Dog Pup! They are very sweet, professional and care so much for the breed.
“I've basically roamed the entire earth looking for a dog like an Estrela.”
I know that sounds dramatic, but I freaking love my dog. I knew I needed a protection dog and this girl is ittttt!!!!
“Thanks to Damari, my vet even wants an Estrela Puppy Now”
My vet was so impressed with the health and personality of my Estrela puppy, and they said I got really lucky to find such a great breeder. These guys are the best!
“I never fully understood what a protective dog was until I got my Estrela”
Our girl is everything I needed in a personal companion and protective dog. She clears the street when we go for walks and always makes me feel safe at night.
“I have a lot of regrets in my life, but investing in a healthy puppy isn't one.”
After my rescue dog passed away prematurely, I knew I needed a dog to heal but wasn't ready to go through that again. The Estrela breed is just what I needed.
