About Sarge
Hi, my name is Sarge!
"I am a very large, 11 month old, wolfhound/dane mix
At my last weigh in I was 40kg! I am a big puppy and I sometimes forget my size, I just want to lean on you and have all the pats and cuddles to myself I love playing ball and chewing my soft teddies. I love my Kongs with stuffed mince to keep my mind occupied and I love love love fresh bones!! I love playing tug. I love going for walks and exploring new places, I am a very brave boy and nothing scares me. I love the water, rain and playing in puddles.... just add water and watch me run around silly. I am great with horses and will probably be good with cattle too."
Sarge is a very chilled out boy who doesn’t bark unless someone/something is there.
He spends most of his time sleeping if he has his exercise needs met!
In saying that Sarge needs room to run, he would be better suited to acreage with 5ft+ fences but would do great with someone home a lot who could walk him twice a day and play ball in a medium-large sized yard. He is great to walk but sometimes has puppy brain and forgets he doesn’t need to rush, with a gentle reminder he will stay with you.
Sarge is super goofy and has such a great personality. He really loves his people and just wants to please. Sarge would be better suited to being an only dog so he can have all of your love and cuddles to himself! He has been living with a calm female after very slow introductions and there have been no issues. While Sarge is not a dominant dog, he lacks social skills due to his past and therefore needs slow introductions with female dogs only.
He is great with horses and probably cattle but would not be good with cats, birds or pocket pets without training from a strong and confident handler. When Sarge came into foster care he had almost no training or manners... but what he did have was a super fast learning ability so he now will sit for his food and wait until you say YES! He knows inside/outside, he knows leave (most of the time), he knows the off/up, he knows how to lay down, he has an awesome recall, he does not jump up anymore and he is mostly house trained.
Sarge is a bit of a sensitive boy and is currently on allergy medication for what we think is an allergic reaction to mosquitos/midgies - because of this Sarge will need to sleep inside at night. Due to Sarge past he can be a bit of an anxious boy, he often thinks he is in trouble when he is not. With love, care, a lot of play, teaching him to be confident and giving him strong boundaries and rules, he really is thriving!
