About Hooch
HOOCH! Dogue De Bordeaux Mix located in Melbourne.
This is our sweet goofy foster boy Hooch who is looking for his forever family.
Hooch loves company, he needs it and he thrives when he is around his people. When he is around you, he is constantly by your side just wanting a cuddle and a pat.
For this reason he would love a family and to be around people all of the time.
Hooch is thriving with training and love in foster care with us. He is eager to learn and responds very well to my partner and I. He gets very excited if he is outside on his own when he sees us again but he is always behaved and sits and contains his excitement. He needs continuous training in the moments when he gets over excited.
He doesn’t do too well in the yard all day on his own and again he needs someone home majority of the week.
He sleeps all night beside us and wakes up for a wee in the morning.
When we’re in the kitchen, he follows us around and just wants to be with us whatever we’re doing.
If we sit down, he sits down with us. If we are outside, he wants to be in the sun beside us. He just always wants to be by your side.
He walks beautifully on the lead and runs well and just needs a correction every now and again when he is over stimulated.
He is such a good boy and knows not to jump but to sit and wait for your attention.
He is a typical loving mastiff.
We take him to meet our friends and he is in his element at times like these.
The work Hooch needs is on his manners with other dogs. He isn’t used to being around them and he gets very agitated and excitable and we are hoping work with a dog trainer will help him flourish here. He just wants friends and once he warms up he just wants to play with them.
For this reason he probably needs a home on his own where he can receive all the love and affection he so wants and needs.
Ideal home for Hoochy is as the baby of the family, where he can always be by your side, a few daily walks or runs and a warm bed beside his owners. He needs to be a big part of the family! Inside dog only!
He is a super special guy and everyone who meets him falls in love with him.
Every morning after a run he is super placid and just chills with you all day.
He has so much love to give and is the biggest sweetie and we are putting a lot of time into him and we want the same in his forever home and we will be pretty picky with him for this reason! He is not an outside dog, he needs to be part of the family and treated as such.
