Ziggy is an absolute gem! He is a medium sized dog (about 60 lbs), has a dark brown coat, and is a purebred Thai Ridgeback. These dogs are said to be awesome companions. They are tough, active and have a great jumping ability. Ziggy is 4 1/2 years old and unfortunately for his family their work commitments are making it hard to find the time to devote to him.
Ziggy is an excellent family pet. He loves attention and will nuzzle you with his nose to get you to pet him. He absolutely loves going for walks. He also enjoys lying around in the sun, either in the house by the window or in the yard poolside although he does not like the water at all. He is a healthy, happy boy that loves people of all ages. He has a very loud bark and would make a great watchdog but he is not aggressive and loves everyone. In fact Ziggy thinks everyone coming to the house is there to visit him!
When asked if he would like a treat, he doesn’t bark but rather “speaks” to you. He will try to sneak on the bed at times but for the most part he prefers sleeping in his own doggy bed. He is fine when left in the home on his own and is accustomed to having free roam of the house.
This is a very intelligent breed and like a child he will often pretend he doesn’t hear you when you call him preferring instead to continue on with what he is doing. For this reason he can never be let off leash in an open area until he has been trained to come consistently on command. For now he would definitely need a home with a securely fenced backyard to play in.
his is not a common breed in Canada and as such he gets a lot of attention from strangers which he loves. He really needs to be a part of the family and is a very loyal and loving companion. He is a “counter-surfer” but overall a very good boy that deserves as much as he gives.
