My story

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

Bo or Beau (meaning in French “good-looking”) would be a handsome complement to the right family. He is needing someone who is confident, looking to get involved and show him the boundaries and define the expectations, who is able to structure healthy interactions. Beau is a powerful dog in mind and spirit, and he is looking for the right fit - an assertive pack leader to bond with who provides him with guidance and the needed, positive assurance and reinforcement. Beau is a Good Boy wanting to please his human and, of course, it must be a symbiotic relationship.

Beau, like many children, will put it to the test to see what’s allowed and if he can make more decisions on his own. His pack leader will help Beau navigate these decisions, so he feels comfortable while facing certain situations such as dealing with other dogs or door rushing. Energy control and responsiveness is on the forefront as Beau learns the dynamics of his new relationships and proper introductions - it gets better with every encounter when the pack leader understands his beautiful personality and temperament, staying mindful of guiding Beau to be his very best with people or dogs in social settings. He does well with other dog introductions when given enough time to know them, but the most guidance needed will be when meeting dominant or stressed dogs, particularly other assertive males. If an encounter becomes tense, Beau will easily go into a crate or dog run to rebalance; he can be crated next to other dogs without incident or reactivity, it serves as a den to calm and adjust him. A few times he was confronted with a dominant male where separation was appropriate, and his trainer was able to leash and bring him away without a struggle or argument.    

Beau has a transition coach who will be available by appointment to share with his adopter the key points to structuring a positive outcome. Training may refer to the dog – but you’ll agree that a big part is for the benefit of a pack leader who recognizes how to face the phases of development and growth. The lifelong commitment between the two is dependent on building a solid foundation. And if there are other dogs, Beau’s playfulness and adaptability will require skilled management, patience, and time to integrate the pack.

Beau is up to date on his shots, neutered, microchipped, and ready for his special meet & greet day with a potential fur family. He thrives on a natural, whole raw meat and food regimen. Also included in his adoption are two consultations discussing his nutrition and biological balance. Beau is in Menifee, CA. Feel free to ask a pre-adoption questionnaire
