About Basil
UPDATE!!!
We've been working hard at SCAR to find the garlic and oregano to our boy Basil. As gorgeous and smart as Basil is, he has a few specific requirements for his new home so that we can make sure he is successful. These include:
- Humans who want to train, train and train some more - and are A-OK with large breed teenage antics. Basil's favourite trainer is Denise Fenzi and he one day dreams of having a strong 'work hard, play hard, love hard' relationship with his new person.
- No cats, pocket pets or other small animals that Basil might find a bit too interesting.
- If Basil has a canine sibling in his new home, they must be an adult large breed who is tolerant of excitable teenagers and also able to help him learn some manners.
Note from Basil's biggest fans at SCAR: Basil is a fabulous and smart boy with bucketfuls of potential and he is a very willing training partner. He is still a baby in a big boy's body though, and his steering and brakes are still a work in progress. He needs an enthusiastic training nerd to take him on and shape him into the superstar sporting dog we know he can be!
Meet Basil, our resident hollow-legged teenage boy. As you can see from his photos, Basil is still growing into his legs (and ears!) and like a human teenage boy, we expect his big appetite to last until he has finished growing.
When Basil arrived at SCAR, we quickly realised that he has a fantastic brain he is keen to use when he is interested and engaged with the activity (we did say he is like a human teenager, right?). Basil knows how to Sit, Drop, Touch, Shake, and Look. He is also learning how to wait patiently at doors, approached other dogs and people calmly, and use his gentleman manners when he is excited.
Basil is looking for a home with dog-savvy humans who love bat ears, trick training, and adventure walks. He may do well with another dog of similar size, or with regular playdates with well-matched canine friends. Due to his size and occasional lapse in his ability to control his excitement, Basil would do best in an adult home or with teenagers who are happy to share the limelight on social media (because no human can complete with those fabulous ears!)
If Basil sounds like your kind of big, brindle, bat-eared teenage doggo, please get in touch with the SCAR team for a chat!
