Hi Grace, welcome. Thanks for considering this sweet pup, she'll get a great home with you! I'm so glad you're researching before adopting her, that's awesome.

Giant breed pups can do great on three legs and do just about anything their counterparts can do, but within limits. It will be your job to make sure doesn't overdo activity, that she gets the right kind of activity, that she doesn't get fat, and that is able to receive appropriate pain management if and when necessary. Because of the toll that missing a leg takes on a giant breed dog, they are at greater risk for osteoarthritis, so managing this is part of being a Tripawd pawrent.

Yep, stairs are no problem as long as they have traction , carpet, etc. Do you have other dogs? If so, you'll need to keep in mind that she won't be able to keep up on longer walks with them (although a dog stroller is how most people deal with that situation, they're a great tool and yes you can find them that big!). She won't be able to do long hikes or that sort of thing -- well, she will try, but it's up to you not to let her because you want to protect  her joints and health. 

The right kind of activity, if you're wondering, involves core-strengthening and balance games, which we discuss in the Tripawds Gear blog and our book, Loving Life On Three Legs . These types of fitness games are much more fun and appropriate than just long walks, which don't do as much to help a Tripawd get strong. 

I encourage you to scroll through this forum, Size and Age Matters, to see what life on three legs as a giant breed dog is like. 

Thanks again for joining. Let us know if you adopt her and if you do, be sure to register as a member so your future posts won't need approval.
