Meet Macaroni (aka Mac / Macklemore)
Cane Corso / Mastiff Bully Chaos. Soft Eyes. Bee-Sting Head.
ABSOLUTE PERFECTION.
Mac is a puppy built like a tank but soft as a biscuit inside. Found in the rural Central Valley of California, he entered rescue covered in scars and carrying more sweetness than anyone expected.
Behavior? puppy-brain to the MAX. but also that perfect balance of floppy, wiggly, toy-obsessed, food driven, soulful, and expressive. He has the sweetest "awooo's" ive ever heard. (Haven't been able to capture them on video yet!)
If "beesting" was a shape, thats what I would use to describe Mac adorably rounding noggin. WARNING - it makes him about 200% more lovable.
Hes submissive with other dogs, showing classic puppy appeasement (yes, including face licking (working on this)) and belly flops). He learns fast with dog mentors who know how to speak puppy and responds well to structure. He does well with short training sessions and lots of naps.
Hes crate trained, house trained (with structure), and incredibly tuned in to his person.
Right now, Mac is thriving with hand-fed traininghis meals are used as rewards and structure, helping him develop trust, focus, and basic commands.
Things to know:
-
-Needs structure. Like, real structure. working-breed pup with serious growing to do.-
Loves toys, puddles, kiddie pools, and tug.
-Will melt your heart with one look. And then sprint directly into a mud puddle.
-
Thrives with other dogs. Especially the confident ones who teach by example.
- Does great solo as well
-
Not cat safe yet. His recall isnt solid, and his curiosity overrides control
