About Sumo The Sun Bear
Can you hear that noise? What is that?
IT'S SUMO! This boys motto in life is "YOU may be strong, but you're not SUMO STRONG!!!!!!!!"
Sumo is 50 kilos of pure black and tan stud muffin. You're not getting a dog with Sumo, you're getting a baby Sun Bear.
Sumo was surrendered to the home after his owner could no longer look after him. The minute he entered The Lost Dogs' Home his larger-than-life personality (and body) took over. He is happy-go-lucky, smoochy, food obsessed, and toy obsessed!
Anyone that has ever owned a Rottweiler can tell you they are fiercely loyal, stubborn, food motivated, worse than Husky hair shedders, won't let you go to the bathroom alone, and snore worse than your husband after a few drinks! But that's all part of the charm - Sumo is here to show you all of that, plus so much more! If you have previously owned a large powerful breed similar to a Rottweiler before, and you are wanting to find your next BIG best friend - Sumo is the boy for you!
This boy always looks happy, and that's because he really is. He is happy to be included in your every-day tasks and wants to be included in the household as if he was a child. Sumo love toys! Like, absolutely loves them! His favourite toys are tennis balls, but they're no match for his huge jaws and he destroys them pretty quickly. He would highly benefit from someone that can invest in a whole lot of "tough toys" such as Kong and Scream Xtreme toys so he has play without you worrying about him destroying them all.
Sumo has shown some positive interactions with other dogs while in care - but he is also A LOT, so we recommend that he be the only dog in the home to start with while his new owners work on settling him in and ongoing training before introducing him (appropriately of course) to other doggy friends.
Sumo's photos do not do him justice. If you want to see a Sun Bear in real life - come on down and meet Sumo today!
