Description
Dog Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). OTHER PETS: King has been comfortable around other dogs while at TJO, but hasn't had much interest in interacting. While he could possibly get along with another dog that will let him have his own space in the home, he would be just as happy in a place all to himself! [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: King is a strong dog with a lot of energy, and still needs to learn the foundations of positive reinforcement training. He loves toys and will likely do best learning with someone that has experience with positive reinforcement and the capability to handle stronger dogs. [Some Experience] KIDS: King is uncomfortable with some handling and isn't fond of being restrained or hugged (dogs in general do not enjoy being hugged or kissed), but he hasn't shown any signs of resource guarding while at TJO. Because of his size and energy level, though, he would likely do best in a home with older children that can understand how to interact with him and aren't as easy to knock over. [15+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: King is an active dog that has a bit of an obsession with balls, and will benefit from varied activities to prevent the obsession from becoming more intense. (Once he finds one, he's set on keeping track of it in any way he can. He'll dig through bins, hop up on counters, even crawl under chairs!) He's bound to bring at least a few laughs into the home, but he would likely do best with an active family that can provide various methods of both physical and mental enrichment. [Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: While King already seems to understand `sit`, he is still at the beginning of his positive training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer patience while he adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help King not only learn his basic cues & skills, but also help him to bond with his new owner as well. [Moderate] GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]
