Hi everyone,
We adopted a few months ago after spending ages trying to decide between several breeds. We were thinking about an Eurasier, a Husky, or a German Shepherd.
After chatting with a neighbour who has a dog from Reunion Island (dogs have a really tough time of it over there), I started looking into different rescue charities.
And then—it was love at first sight!!!!!
She’s been with us for 7 months now and it's been pure joy. We went through a rescue charity called Sauvade, but there are plenty of others out there.
These dogs aren't very well known; they're sometimes called 'Royal Bourbons' or 'Creole Shepherds', and there’s something for everyone (all sizes, coat colours, and eye colours).
She looks like a young German Shepherd crossed with a Husky and won't get any heavier than 35 lbs (around 16kg). She’s lovely with us and the kids, incredibly sociable, obedient, and playful—in short, she’s a total dream dog.
Even though we originally wanted a pedigree, in hindsight we’re so happy because these dogs don't have health issues, you’re saving a life, and they have such a fantastic temperament.
