About Daffy
Meet Daffy - Your Big, Boisterous, Wrinkly Work-in-Progress! Daffy is a 1-year-old Neapolitan Mastiff x Boerboel with a gloriously wrinkly face and a bit of that classic Daffy Duck "woo-hoo!" energy. He's goofy, food-motivated, and affectionate once he trusts you - but make no mistake, Daffy is a project dog- think "work in progress," not "ready-made." He needs an experienced, confident owner used to guardian breeds and XL strength.
He's had some negative experiences in the past and can be anxious with strangers, new dogs, or unpredictable environments (like windy days). He's strong on lead, lacks impulse control, and needs ongoing training around polite behaviour, walking nicely, and building confidence through structure and routine.
Daffy would thrive in a calm, low-traffic home (suburban or semi-rural), with adults or older teens. He may suit a home with another well-balanced large dog, but intros must be slow and managed.
In the right hands, Daffy has the makings of a truly incredible dog. If you've got experience with guardian breeds, a sense of humour about drool, and the commitment to see this boy through the ups and downs of rehabilitation - come meet Daffy. He might be a little looney tunes now, but with you, he just might find his happy ever after.
