Jack

Hi my name is Jack, I am a Australian Bulldog and I am 1 year and 3 months old

I came into care about 2 months ago needing to learn some manners and training which the rescue has been working on.

I am currently hanging out with other dogs – they are fun company but my foster mum has to supervise me cause while I love other dogs, I am a bit of a bulldozer and forget my size and strength, oh yeah and I can sometimes want to hump them – oops!

My foster mum says I have no idea of personal space or the fact that I use my weight to get what I want sometimes – she says I am a boofhead but lovable and highly entertaining.

My foster mum says I am a big chunk of love and I have two speeds – either full on bulldog mode or calm quiet lazy arse bulldog mode.

I do have some food aggression so if I’m in a home with another dog we would need to make sure that we are fed separately or monitored at all times, and even with small kids if they have food I have been known to try and snatch it out of their hands – my foster mum is working with me on this and I don’t try and take it out of her hand but for this reason my foster mum thinks it would be better to go to a home with kids over 10 years of age or someone who can continue working with me on this.

Also I do send kids flying with my enthusiasm sometimes – oops!

I am still learning the word no and apparently I score a 8 out of 10 with response – other days I don’t have my listening ears on and everything is just fun and games but I’m doing so much better than when I first came into care.

I love a good day of chilling outside in the fresh air with a breeze but being a bull dog do need to be able to have access 24/7 to inside when it's hot - I am not stupid I will happily go spend time on the couch if it's hot.

I am toilet trained and I know I have amazing manners in the house - while I would love human company thru the day (of course any bulldog would!) but if you worked I would be happy with a treat or something else to keep me occupied while you’re at work but then I would expect when you get home lots of attention and love and a good walk or a play in the backyard as I would need to burn off some energy.

I'm not an independent guy (ha ha) so if I can super glue myself to you when your home – I am a huge help – we do so much stuff together I will be right by your side or in your way you know normal bulldog behavior.

I do love having naps with my human and, I like to follow them around and sleep by their feet or on their lap if they let me.
I am not tested on cats and honestly could go either way - my foster mum refuses to ask the man down the road who has a cat if I meet him.

And chooks are a big no for me as well - oops!

I love to sleep next to you on the couch while watching TV, or on your bed – see I say next to you, because it sounds so much better to say next then to say on top of you! At my foster parent's house, I sleep in the lounge room where it is nice and cool and I am very well behaved and don't make a peep (except for some snoring!).

I would also need to be able to have access inside 24/7 due to my breed and you know well we live in Queensland!
