Rolly - 7 Year Old Great Dane X Wolfhound

Meet Rolly! A 7 year old male Great Dane x wolfhound with a heart as big as his paws.

Rolly is a big goofy boy of 51 kgs who thrives on human company and just wants to be wherever you are. He really loves to be near his people so he would suit a home where someone is around more often than not.

He has the distinguished whiskers of a mature gent, but he still has daily bursts of playful puppy energy and can zoomie like a young bloke. He’ll happily trot around as you go about your activities and then spend just as much time snoozing at your side. He loves to lean against you or lay his head in your lap to show his affection. Tummy tickles are most welcome, but he would ask that you don’t grab at his paws.

Rolly is fully toilet trained with access to outside. He sleeps through the night on his bed in the loungeroom but is very eager and persistent for morning cuddles in bed. He is happy to have independent discovery rambles and naps outside during the day but must be allowed inside overnight.

He doesn’t chew or steal or wreck. He snoozes, he leans, he bounces, and he loves a car ride. 🩷

Intelligent, food motivated and eager to please, Rolly is responding well to treat-based training and for entertainment he enjoys working on his XXL Kong treat toy or munching a bone. He displays excellent manners at feeding time, sitting patiently for his bowl to be put in front of him.

He adores going for a daily walk and is excited to have his harness and collar put on. He does start out very strong on lead so needs someone physically strong enough to manage him well. Although he is mostly a big sook, he can sometimes forget his size during play with people so requires an experienced owner familiar with large breeds.

Rolly has lived with other dogs and a cat and has shown himself to be friendly and playful however a meet and greet with any existing household pets is encouraged to ensure a suitable match in size and temperament.
