My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet the particularly awesome Bryson! Bryson is a classic example of a “why” dog. As in “Why is this dog in rescue?” “Why did this dog end up in a shelter?” “Why” dogs can be any breed or a handsome combination of Retrieverish, Houndish, Great Pyrish like Bryson. “Why” dogs like Bryson have mellow dispositions even when they are as young (18 months) as he is. And the list goes on.

Bryson is crate-trained and will happily remain there until he can more happily greet you with joy and wiggles when you come home. He loves other dogs and plays well with them. He even does fine with dog savvy cats who know when to swat a nose that is a little too close for comfort. Bryson does not have any aggressive bones in his statuesque body, but we recommend older children that overflowing puppy joy won’t knock down. And…heralding trumpet sounds… he is house-trained!

He loves a brisk walk and some tussles with pals. And he has pretty sterling leash skills for a dog so young that will only improve as he grows in experience. While he is not super high energy, he is young and exercise will keep him from getting into puppy trouble. He currently weighs about 50 lbs. and he may fill out but will likely not get much bigger. This guy is pretty much perfect which you can see clearly if you watch his not-to-be-missed video which is attached.

Life is complicated. The road forks in an unexpected way. Who knows why? What we know for sure is that, despite his youth, this is a ready-made family dog! If you are interested in Bryson, please contact jane@bigfluffydogs.com.


If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
