Health Issue(s)

• None

Temperament

• Dog friendly but needs to learn boundaries as he plays rough and for extensive periods of time, (plus he’s a big boy).
• Is mouthy when playing with dogs and people.
• Does stress in new situations and new environments (ex: drools and doesn’t want to eat much as he tends to be a picky eater).
• Very cuddly, loves to get attention.
• Is good with getting groomed.
• Medium-high energy.
• Knows basic commands, but does tend to “forget” them when he is excited. He needs some work on his recall as he gets distracted easily with new smells.
• Is ok on-leash, but will mouth at the leash when excited (is slowly learning how to walk nicely on-leash).
• Not destructive and is house trained.
• Timid with new people.
• Doesn’t seem to have any toy or food possession up to now.
• Has not been tested around kids or pets (other than dogs), but will need to be supervised at all times.
• Likes to play a bit of fetch, being outside and exploring
• Doesn’t seem to bark much.

Owner Suitability

• Experience with large breeds, especially Rottweilers, is an asset.
• He would benefit from a family that is committed to working at improving his leash skills and setting boundries.
