About Wilbur
It is our pleasure to introduce Wilbur! Not only is he handsome, but Wilbur makes an excellent family dog. He loves human company and is very much a snuggler. He will melt your heart as he lovingly gazes up at you with his stunning amber eyes.
Wilbur is a smart boy too - he can 'sit' and 'high-five', 'drop', 'stay', 'wait' for his dinner and for 'ta' to take a treat. He has good lead manners and toilet training, aside from the odd wee at the door if it's closed. He does like to jump up to give kisses, so has been taught both 'up' and 'down'.
Wilbur can be anxious around other dogs and will need slow introductions. With care, time and patience he will get used to other dogs and even become friends with them as he has with his foster buddy Bear, also a large male dog. Wilbur is great with cats - politely curious about the three he lives with, and no chasing.
He would also be fine as an only-dog, providing someone was home a fair bit of the time. He loves company so would need to be allowed inside with his family. Whilst he is not living with children currently, it's clear he would welcome them with open paws. Probably bigger children though, as he's quite a large boy and may accidentally knock the littlies over; they should be dog-sensible enough to not push their faces up in his and generally respect doggy body language.
Wilbur will need good fencing and at least and average-sized yard in which to play. A resourceful boy, Wilbur will find a nice spot in the yard and dig a hole to nap in. It's always cooler underground!
He doesn't chew on his humans' possessions but would definitely appreciate a fresh bone or deer antler once in a while. He's also a good alert dog, as he will give one or two warning barks if he hears something at night. Then he's right back to sleep.
He's a very sweet, VERY dedicated boy but on the sharper, more sensitive side; he picks his Boss Person like a Border or Cattle Dog would. He reminds his carers of those breeds but needing less high-impact exercise.
