Bear has come a very long way with his training since being with us and although does get excited when meeting new people and a little jumpy on occasions he settles quickly and patiently sits awaiting someone to play with him or give him a treat lol

Bear has been very social with dogs and people and is eager to please so with the right family this boy will just thrive

OBEDIENCE

Bear has master the sit command and is super treat focused so training his is made a lot easier with his " i'll do anything for a treat attitude

ENRICHMENT

Bear is still a puppy so will require enrichment when he is left home alone.

We have found bones . Stuffed kongs etc have worked really well when left alone for extended periods. Bear would love a med to large female who loves to play and is well socialised to be his BFF

He is fairly well behaved on the lead and loves going on walks and exploring the neighbourhood. He will stop when instructed to and recall on command. However, this can be hard for him if he sees other dogs and/or rabbits. He is very high energy and excitable, as most pups can be. He craves human interaction and wants to be with his humans. He loves all kinds of toys, especially those he can chew on or play tug-o-war with. His favourite game is playing ‘roughhousing’ like he would have with his siblings. He loves chasing anything you can throw and loves to bury his bones. Long walks, runs in off-lead parks and a large yard or acreage will help keep him out of trouble and adequate training and enrichment is a must.

SLEEPING

He will sleep all night once he is settled and comfortable. He would love to be inside but is also happy outside.

SOCIALISATION

He loves human interaction and is very friendly when meeting other humans. He is very dog social and loves to run and play with other dogs at the dog park. We think he woulds de well with another dog to play with who is a female of med to large and loves to play

FOOD

He eats well morning and night. He is not a fussy eater and will eat anything that is given to him, his dry food and fresh doggy rolls (Prime 100). He likes having the odd bone for enrichment. He is not extremely food-focused but will eat when he is hungry.

MEDICAL/HYGIENE

Flash will need a regular brush and the occasional bath. He is not too keen on getting wet. His short coat is easy to maintain. Bear has had all his vaccinations and been desexed.

TRAVEL/CAR

Bear is happy in a car and gets very excited when traveling. He will need to be properly harnessed and belted in for his safety.

IDEAL HOME:

We feel that Bear would thrive in a home with a family that are active and like the outdoor life Bear would probably prefer to be an inside dog with easy outside access, giving him the freedom to choose. He is happy to be left outside when his humans are away. His family will need to invest time in him and ensure he has daily enrichment and extended time to run and play because he can be quite active. He will need space as he loves to run so a decent yard is required. Bear is a loyal and loving companion and would love to live with a family that is active, giving him the love, attention, energy, training and enrichment that he needs.

Bear is a loveable boy who still a puppy does require some training as he can get over excited so we would be seeking a family who are dog experienced and are prepared to put some time into him

The great thing about Bear is he has a good natured temptaint and is dog social so definitely a plus for this gorgeous fella

He will require a decent size yard to play in and make a great companion for another dog who also loves to play and is well spiclased

Children in the home would need to be mature age because as we said he can be jumpy when excited
