RYDER, A BIG BOY WITH SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE

Meet Ryder, a 5-year-old Bull Arab x Great Dane with 40kg of love, a gentle nature and a very impressive cuddle game!

Ryder loves a run, a swim and an adventure, followed by a lovely nap. Above all, he loves being with his people. He even has a quirky way of showing you where he’d like to go—gently taking your hand in his mouth and leading you along.

A friend to almost everyone
Ryder is described as very friendly with adults, children and other dogs. He gives cats their space and, having spent a few years living on a cattle station, knows to respect livestock and horses too. He hasn’t been introduced to pocket pets and does enjoy chasing lizards.

Brains to match his big heart
This clever boy knows sit, stay, lie down, shake and “leave it”. His recall cue is “Ryder, here”, and his current owner reports excellent recall. He can pull at the beginning of a walk when the excitement kicks in, so his new family will need to be comfortable handling a large, strong dog.

An easygoing companion at home
Ryder is toilet trained, accustomed to both indoor and outdoor living, and reportedly settles well when left alone, with no separation anxiety. He isn’t known to jump fences and generally saves his chewing for his own toys—although balls are quickly demolished, so sturdy, suitable toys are best!

One important dietary need
Ryder has food allergies, and kangaroo and fish are the only meats he can eat. His new family must be committed to maintaining his suitable diet (there are many kibble options including Blackhawk and Royal Canin) including checking treats.

Ryder is desexed, vaccinated and up to date with his parasite prevention, with no reported bite history.

Sadly, his owner’s health and financial circumstances mean they can no longer care for him. After five years together, Ryder is looking for a loving new family who can offer him the care, companionship and cuddles he deserves.

If you have room in your home for a big, affectionate companion, Ryder could be your perfect adventure-and-nap buddy ❤️
