Adventures with Yogi, Tashi, and Maggie - These big, beautiful Bernese refused to look at...

These big, beautiful Bernese refused to look at me. (He was spotted at Bay Street in Emeryville, where he was clearly tired of shopping.)

Despite his protests, he still makes me want one of these Swiss Sennenhunds.

About me

I come from a big dog kind of family. Unfortunately, big dogs are the hardest for shelters to adopt out. With all the fun Yogi, Tashi, Maggie (all rescue dogs), and I have, I figured we could share our episodes with the world and make it a more big dog-friendly place.

This is your daily dose of
big dogs.

YOGI
Tibetan Mastiff Mutt (Irish Wolf Hound? Rottweiler?), 100 lbs. Adopted 2004. Was abused. Loves the family, but is slow to warm to strangers. Especially does not like men, but is learning to love the boyfriend.

TASHI
Tibetan Mastiff, 80 lbs. Adopted 2007. Was abused and unsuccessfully raised for fighting. One-person dog attached to the mom. Tolerant of the family. Our old Black lady. Grumbles to let you know she knows what's up.

MAGGIE
English Mastiff, 160 lbs. Adopted 2009. Original owners passed on. Sweet old girl. Snores to bring the house down. Drools like a slimy faucet. Not so good with stairs. Loves people, period.

MAYKA
Not a big dog. Not up for adoption. But will discuss big dogs up for adoption via the.Maykazine at gmail.com.
