Story
Theo was abandoned in our orchard with his brother in April 2024. We took them in and tried to raise them. Theo was very timid and didn’t not trust humans. overtime he overcame his fear and was open to love. Now he is the most protective and loving dog We sent Theo for board & training Feb 2025 for 10 wks .. he didn’t do very well and resent him for training again for another 6 wks in July 2025. Theo is loveable and patient he gets excited for pets he loves to press his big body against your legs so you can pet him very protective. He does food guard which we have accommodated with separate bowls and Spaces to eat Unfortunately there was a recent incident with our cat being dead. Not sure if Theo involved but he attacked his brother. With this we can no longer keep him. His brother and him need to be separated as we are inexperienced dog owners but through research find they have litter mate syndrome but also high anxiety when not together..Theo would make a great dog for a family

Finn was abandoned in our orchard with his brother in April 2024. We took them in and tried to raise them. We sent Finn for board & training Feb 2025 for 10 wks .. he didn’t do very well and resent him for training again for another 6 wks in July 2025. Finn is loveable and loves attention.. he is a great guard dog and can retrieve his brother back when he tries to runaway.. He calm when being petted and when you stop he nudges you with his paw. Unfortunately there was a recent incident with our cat being dead. And Finn having multiple scratches on his face. With this we can no longer keep him. His brother and him need to be separated as we are inexperienced dog owners but through research find they have litter mate syndrome but also high anxiety when not together..Finn would make a great herding dog or protective dog over a family and house.
