Oscar Jar Jar

Hi. My name is Oscar Jar Jar an im a tall.lean shaggy love machine,
I am a friendly, cheeky 10 month-old staghound x who loves people and other doggos.
Although I'm only 30 kilos in a tall typical Staghound build with Giraffe legs and a heart of solid gold.
I have been living in a house with teenage children and love to play tug o war, chase, ball games but then also I love to have down time chill on the couch with you too
I am a goofy but gentle boy who will forget my manners occasionally and jump up for a hug so we feel young children will not be suitable in my new home as i might accidentally knock them over.
I arrived at my foster home. I fitted in straight away like I've lived here all of my life and yup I have officially taken over the couch…. I very much enjoy being an inside dog but also happy to spend some time outside as long as I have something to keep me entertained. I like snuggling on the couch having down time during the day to just nap

Favorite things
Oscar's favorite things are zoomies around the yard, going for a walk and hanging with his hoomans. Although Oscar Jar Jar can be a couch potato he is still a young boy so needs plenty of toys to keep him busy.
Interaction with people
Oscar can be a little shy meeting new people but soon warms up. Given he is still a puppy he is learning to keep all four paws on the ground. He's a smoochy boy who loves giving kisses and can be a little mouthy when excited so a dog savvy family is a must. He has great potential with continuing his training. We feel he is going to become a wonderful gentle boy as he matures into adulthood

Interaction with other animals
Oscar displays great social skills around other dogs and likes to engage in play and chase. He is not overly focused on other dogs when walking, will walk past without much pulling to say hello
He has been tested with cats and does want to chase so no cats or pocket pets in his new home .
Walking on Lead
Oscar Jar Jar walks well on a halti, obediently stopping at roads. He very rarely pulls on the lead.

Oscar is most motivated when given praise and cuddles rather than being treated motivated for rewards. Oscar will sit for his food, can an drop, knows that his lead means a walk to the park
Car

As he is a tall puppy, he will sniff and steal the occasional food from your kitchen bench if you leave it out as he can reach lol
