Bear's Foster mom says anyone who loves Labs or big dogs is going to love Bear.She also has a lot to say about Bear... Bear likes people, being petted and hugged, other dogs, loves playing and romping with other dogs running in the backyard, being outside, being inside, playing 'bounce the ball' by himself, keep away with people, his food, snugly blankets in his crate, really sturdy chew toys, being worked with (training), knowing the layout of the house and yard, treats, couches ( if you let him). He dislikes being at the top of a full flight of stairs (he won't come down by himself), ice cubes as treats, not being allowed on the couch or peoples laps, being crated while the other dogs are loose, having to sleep downstairs.
Bear isn't totally blind. He can see better when lights are on, I think he can see vague shapes. He is definitely a puppy. When left on his own uncreated the possibilities for mass destruction of books and property is great. He is teething and needs very sturdy chew toys. There isn't a mean bone in his body. He needs training ! He knows sit, is working on stay and get down and being walked with a Gentle Leader head harness ( he pulls). He is crated trained. He does bark a bit after put in his crate but stops soon. He does respond to 'Be quiet.' He is house trained. He is also one of the messiest water drinkers I have ever had to clean up after. Takes treats gently from a person's hand. He waits his turn to be fed and doesn't try to take over other dog's food dishes.He would like to get to know the cat better and has never shown an inclination to attack the cat. The cat will have nothing to do with Bear.Loves playing with the corgis. Does some barking at other dogs and people who come to the door. He can go up and down short flights of steps, can go up full flights but is terrified to come down. I think he is a little clumsy to be placed with little kids. Not that he doesn't like them but is too bouncy.Or at least he shouldn't be placed with kids who aren't used to big dogs. If you can give Bear a great new furever home call us today.
