Hi I’m Rocky. I may be a big fella but I’m no guard dog, I will submit to anyone who gives out pats or belly rubs or treats and if allowed I will shower you with my big boy kisses.
I have a loud bark but hardly use it and am really just a loyal, gentle larrikin. I am good on and off lead as I am very attached to my human or dog companions. My foster parents recommend use of a halti when we walk. I generally don’t pull, but can’t resist trying to get a sneaky pat which can be intimidating with my size.
I grew up with a mix of kids and dogs but have also survived been fostered as an only dog with adult foster parents. This just shows I’m one versatile boy. That being said I’m still young and require lots of mental stimulation, be that another doggie friend or someone who has plenty of time to spend with me.
I need firm boundaries and would benefit from some more formal training as I’m a growing and social boy. My new home will require a solid fence. I’m not one to run away (I’m too much of a homebody) but I will push through a flimsy fence if it means I can get closer to you.
I have the potential to slot perfectly into your family and will reward you with my willingness to learn and my unwavering attention. If you’re after a good looking gentle giant look no further!
