Available Dogs and Puppies

We have an older puppy available due to no fault of his own. His owner decided that the changes happening at work and his lifestyle werent really a good match for a dog right now. So Mr red has come home to us to find his happily ever after. 

After spending a little time with mr Red this is what I know 

He is insanely sweet and clearly thinks hes a lap dog, hes very gentle for the breed, and will respect your space once you’ve asked him to. He is not massive, about average for a male of his breed and age. Just in and around the 70lbs mark. He has a lovely dark coat which is not super common for this breed. 

He would make a good weekend warrior sport dog. He has spent his summer paddleboarding, swimming and camping on the weekends. He would make a great hiking buddy for the active family. He likes dogs and seems cat safe but I will continue to look at this and update as we go. He is super food motivated, and has a natural retrieve, he loves to work with you and seems to really enjoy training. He is remarkably handler focused. 

He is crate trained, house trained, up to date on all his shots. He will come with ukc registration and his new family listed as a successor until health testing and 2 titles are achieved. His akc paper work has been submitted, and new family will be listed as co owner. If titles and health testing is passed Im happy to transfer full ownership. If they become eligible for ckc registration I will cover the cost of that as well. 

So far it seems his ideal home - has a large backyard, fenced and likes being outdoors and taking their dog with them. His family has another friendly medium energy dog. His new owners must he willing to attend atleast one round of classes (typically 6 weeks in length) and understand that the breed can be frustrating at times, and require lifelong socialization and work. Red seems to be on the lower end of needing exercise and enrichment, and is just happy to hangout once hes tired. He gets a long with all shapes and sizes of dogs. Seems to be cat social and small dog aware. That being said he is a large breed teenager and will need some guidance in life. 

Its important to understand the primitive nature of these dogs. They can take a little time to find their stride in life, and bond deeply. They can be longer to house train and have regressions. They are best suited to someone who has had a large breed dog and have done things with them.  

He is priced fairly for his age, a little lower than his puppy price but not much considering he is UTD. 

Kawartha lakes ontario - but I am well versed in shipping and happy to do so, new owners must be aware that my contract very strictly states all dogs come back to me if they cant stay with you. So regardless of where in the world - if you cant keep him you need to send him home.
