Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Sirius and I'm the Dog Star!
Out of all my siblings, I'm the tallest so they joke I'm part Great Dane. Maybe I am great, but I don't know what a Dane is...if it's a good thing then I must be whatever that is! I'm a pretty happy puppy and I LOVE to play with other dogs. It would be pawsome to go to a home with another dog. I love cats and people too. You know...I'd probably like to hang out with human puppies, my brother Rigel says they're a lot of fun.
I have lots of fun with toys, so I wouldn't be upset if you'd want to spoil me with them. I'd like to spoil you too! I'm great at giving kisses and coming over to you for pets when you want to sit and relax, so we can relax together. I'm pretty good on a leash already but I really like to run free in a yard with everypawdy. Right now I'm a bit of a homebody, but you can help me be super brave and explore this big wide world.
I may be sent from the sky but I just know we can be the biggest brightest stars together!
Sirius is a great boy who has so much room to develop. He is affectionate and loves to give lots of kisses if you let him. He's very sweet and sensitive. Sirius was being considered to become a Mobility Service Dog, however, while he was a natural on leash and receiving/performing commands he had never even been taught officially, he was far too nervous and jumpy of the various noises and stimuli. I've been doing this long enough to know he won't be able to make it past this to do the job effectively despite having all the technical training he'd need. He has so much potential and will make a wonderful companion instead. Sirius is very social and would have a hard time as a dog who was left alone a lot, so a home with another dog or one with kids (or several adults) would be best. American Rottweilers can be more needy than their German counterparts and he is social like the Golden Retriever half. He also isn't as stubborn as a Rottie and he is very trainable like a Golden.
Sirius is a playful puppy and really enjoys interaction. He has a blast with other dogs, is good with cats, and probably would be just fine with most other types of animals. He's really tall, so being underfoot with large animals would be less of a worry. Sirius is the tallest of his litter and continues to maintain that pace. Due to this his nickname is 'Stilts', which he responds to as well! It should be expected that he will be very tall and leggy and could potentially reach the height of at least a smaller Great Dane. At just barely 5 months he is already as tall as his momma (Field Golden Retriever) and weighs almost 60 lbs. Despite his size he isn't overly pushy and does seem to grasp the idea of how big he is for the most part. He will jump up on his hind legs to have you hold his paws, so if you'd like to train him to do it on command as a trick (like to 'dance') you can. We haven't encouraged the behavior so that he doesn't get the idea to do it on his own, and it is fairly rare for him to do it. If he does, he does it with a 'light touch' meaning that, like his momma, its more balanced in the air rather than pressure or force on you.
We love Sirius and it has been a joy to watch him grow from a tiny 1 lb baby to this cute and handsome boy he is now. It will be hard to see this sweet pup go, but he deserves a pawsome home where he can thrive and be the best dog he can be. We do ask that whoever is looking to adopt him know that no one else in the household is allergic to dogs as it is incredibly hard on a puppy to be returned right after they've gone to a new place and gotten attached. Thank you for considering Sirius 'Stilts' as a pawsible addition to your family!
