About Marvellous Max!
Max is a lovely dog with a lot of sass and he comes with a bottle of attitude. Max thinks he's a tough boy but deep down, he's quite sensitive soul. A stubborn boy who would do well with guidance, rules and boundaries. Max is learning very quickly that barking doesn't get him what he wants and now is becoming a bit more patient. Don’t let his age fool you- he’s got lots of energy to give, and would suit someone who enjoys walking/hiking, but is also content lazing around at home. He is very curious and enjoys exploring new places when he’s out and about. At home he is affectionate and will always ask for belly rubs.
Max is fine with other dogs but he can be a bit intense when he meets new dogs. He definitely needs a family who will continue his training in this aspect. Being a very intelligent dog, Max needs a handler who is firm and assertive. Max has lived with other dogs and cats and with slow introduction, he can live harmoniously.
Max gets worked up with fast moving cyclists and training is required for socialization and desensitizing him to cyclists approaching. He responds extremely well to treats and is a quick learner (yes, you can teach old dog new tricks). Max ideal home is secure fencing in the country life where he can enjoy exploring nature and don't worry about a security system, Max has got it all under control :p
Medical notes
Max is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and flea and worm treated.
He recently had his anterior cruciate ligament surgery but rest assure, he has bounce back very quickly and it doesn't seem to bother him.
