Jimbo

Jimbo came to us from the albury pound. At only 12 months old he is still only a pup and what he lacks in basic obedience training he makes up for with his sweet nature. Jimbo's temperment is one of a big softy. He has been living in foster care with another mastiff x, a 14 week old kitten and a four year old and a seven year old child. He has not shown any aggression towards anyone in the house (2 legged or 4 legged) and doesn't even see the kitten as anything else other than another playmate, even when the kitten is playing with his tail. He is also very quiet, has hardly barked at all over the weekend and wasn't worried about the thunder during the storm. This boy is highly food motivated. With some training he has already learnt to sit and is learning to take food gently. With some more training he will quickly learn some good manners. Although he is highly food motivated he knows that he is to leave you alone while you are eating. He has been inside and sleeping in the laundry of a night time. Although last night he snuck into my daughter's room and went to sleep on her bed before he was evicted to go to the laundry. He also has been quiet inside with no rough play or running around - he leaves that for outside. He travels well in the car and walks well on a lead. Jimbo seems to be 90% housetrained, no accidents in the laundry during the night but only a couple during the day. He is definitely a people dog. Jimbo loves his "good morning cuddle and pat every morning. He likes to sit by you and watch what you are doing, will put his head in your lap looking for a pat but once he's got it he's happy to go back to what he was doing. If your sitting on the floor, expect to have him sitting as close as possible to you. If he thinks he's been left outside for too long he will look for another way of getting in so a fence he can't crawl under or climb is a must. He hasn't jumped up on the kids but has on me, but is learning that is a no - no
