About Boston & Frankie
This delightful, slightly odd couple are a bonded pair that we are hopeful we can find a new home for together. Boston is a 6 year old sterilised male Great Dane and Frankie a 3 year old sterilised female Australian Bulldog with a tail!
Meeting these two was an absolute joy, they adore children and have beautiful manners. The two love to have a play together but thoroughly enjoy people. Boston is up for the big lean for as long as you’ll let him and then politely moves away when asked. Frankie will find something to have a game with you but isn’t particularly in your face with it, rather inviting you into her game to add to the fun.
These guys haven’t been able to get out and about so much of late due to a change in life circumstances for the current owner. They are rusty on their social skills and whilst they have met new dogs over the years and done well, they are not at all suited to off lead socialising. If they were to stay in suburbia we would require two experienced handlers who can commit to daily on lead walks to work on them becoming more relaxed passing by other dogs. A large backyard would work best so they can continue to romp and play together freely. Boston and Frankie would do well on property. They have visited rural areas often and have had little interest in other animals.
It’s not often we prefer a home with kids, particularly for a duo, but these guys have done so amazingly well with their toddler buddies that we’d love to see them continue with children in their lives. Boston seems drawn to the slightly bigger kids who can keep up the pats and take the lean, Frankie loves hanging with her little people to play or just sit together in the sandpit. Summer water play is Frankie’s favourite and she’ll chase the hose as long as it keeps moving. Hours of entertainment for both dog and kid.
Frankie and Boston come with a custom-built insulated kennel for outdoor comfort that they love to share, however, being able to spend time inside with the family is most definitely criteria for their new home. They are well mannered in the house, know lots of rules and are not destructive. OK, maybe a plate of butter on the table could silently vanish via the stealth like Dane if you’re silly enough to leave it unattended.
Taking on two dogs is a huge undertaking, particularly when one is a giant breed and the other a powerful breed. Boston and Frankie are most certainly worth considering if you think you’re up for it. They are quite classic for their breeds showcasing all the beautiful traits of each and are going to bring the right family a whole lot of fun and love.
Medical notes
Both dogs appear healthy.
