Story
🎾💦 Meet Ryder—the Dog Who Turns Every Day into a Comedy Show! 💦🎾
If you are looking for a dog with intelligence, affection, personality, and an endless ability to make you laugh, Ryder may be your perfect match.
Ryder is unforgettable. He is hilarious, expressive, incredibly smart, and completely full of life. When he is happy, you will know it—his butt wiggles so hard that the rest of his body joins in! ❤️
🎓 Ryder is professionally trained!
Ryder completed the Board and Train program at Saragold Kennels. He:
🐾 Walks beautifully without pulling
🦮 Is accustomed to using a Gentle Leader head harness rather than attaching a leash to his collar
🐕 Remains calm around other dogs and animals while walking on leash
🧠 Knows sit, stay, place, touch, and other basic commands
Ryder has lived with cats his entire life and does well with them following a proper introduction. He is also good with children and babies.
He has an especially gentle side when it comes to puppies. Ryder is a total “daddy dog” who has helped care for foster litters raised alongside him. He has even taken over some of the mother dogs’ duties, helping clean and groom their puppies. 🥹🐶
💦 Water is Ryder’s personal playground!
Ryder will completely submerge his face while holding his breath. He steals the hose from the pool so he can bite at the stream, then proudly carries it around while attempting to spray people and other dogs. To Ryder, a kiddie pool is basically his own private amusement park.
He is also one of the most expressive dogs you will ever meet. When Ryder wants something, he sits back on his haunches, places his paws in your lap, leans backward dramatically, and gives you an unforgettable wide-eyed, sideways stare—as if he is trying to negotiate telepathically.
If that doesn’t work, he will get vocal and let you know, “Hey, I’m trying to get your attention!” Ryder has even been known to talk back occasionally, making him an excellent partner for some very funny conversations.
🐾 More about Ryder:
❤️ Extremely affectionate with a classic “Velcro dog” personality
💦 Obsessed with pools, hoses, sprinklers, and water
🎾 Throws toys to himself and catches them in midair
🧠 Smart, playful, and highly interactive
🗣️ Vocal, expressive, and sometimes full of funny backtalk
🐕 Social and playful with other dogs
🐱 Has lived successfully with cats
👶 Good with children and babies
🥕 Loves fruits and vegetables
😉 Still has a flirty personality despite being neutered
😂 Provides a constant supply of laughter and entertainment
Ryder genuinely loves vegetables. Give him leftover green beans, carrots, broccoli, or cauliflower alongside a dog cookie, and he will eat the vegetables first. Seriously—all of them!
Ryder is not a dog who fades quietly into the background. He wants to participate in whatever his people are doing and forms incredibly strong bonds with them. He would thrive in an active, involved home where he can continue learning, playing, swimming, and making his family laugh every day.
Ryder has the kind of personality that turns ordinary moments into favorite memories. All he needs now is a forever family to share them with. 🏡💙
