About King
This gorgeous mixed breed big fella is such a gentle giant!! Just like the cheeseburger lovin' Elvis The King, this happy dog just wants to be your Teddy Bear. His colouring is impressive and King is socialising well with his foster sibling older kids, dogs, cats, and birds! King is very inquisitive and wants to play with everyone and everything so new owners need to be mindful that he is unaware of his size! He needs to be watched when playing with littler ones. He did an excellent "4 paw greeting" when meeting his photographer and her daughter - he is very smoochy with humans, has lovely manners and is house trained.
He may be too heavy for elderly couples or families with younger (lighter!) kids. Suprisingly for his size, King is an active dog, always on the go, very comfortable in his foster carer's man shed, loves to explore, help out and kiss on a regular basis. He is super affectionate without being a pest.
King likes water but won't get into it - he loves playing in the sprinklers. He likes to balance on curbs and edges so will need to be watched around a pool as he does sink like a stone as noted when he accidentally fell in his foster carer's pool! He also needed rescuing when he stuck his face in a spikey cactus playing fetch with the photographer's daughter. He didn't cry or panic but we bet that spike in his snout hurt a bit!! Bit dopey but very sweet.
King makes a good alarm dog and is very loyal to those he's bonded with. His foster carer said it was like putting an elephant into her car!! He will need a family who will put zinc on his nose when they go to the beach and give him lots of toys to chew on. He does do a bit of digging but this is usually with his foster brother dog and we're not sure who is leading who astray?
King will come to his name, sit on command and, stunningly, will return the ball when playing fetch! This is gold. You may not have been looking for King but he has certainly been looking for you.
