We are unable to take care of Mazzeo due to our age and living situation. She is a very strong dog. Very loyal to her owners and can be protective. She requires someone who is willing to work and train her. She is the perfect companion except when she is out on her leash. She is housebroken, not afraid of thunderstorms, doesn't get into the garbage, knows a lot of commands and understand almost everything you say! She even gives lap hugs!! Google Catahoula Leopard Dog to understand this breed. We are devastated but this is what we have to do for her well being.
