Story
-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 80-100 lbs
-ESTIMATED AGE: DOB: 2/6/26
-KNOWN WITH DOGS: Excellent. Kobe adores other dogs of all ages and sizes and loves to play.
-KNOWN WITH CATS: Yes. Kobe is curious about cats and would love to play with them. He is doing very well learning to read and respect the resident cat’s boundaries.
-KNOWN WITH KIDS: Excellent. Kobe loves kids of all ages and has lived happily with children.
-KNOWN CUES: Kobe is smart, treat-motivated, and learning quickly. He is currently working on basic manners, leash skills, and settling. Like any six-month-old puppy, continued training will be important—especially since he’s going to be a big boy!
-KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Kobe is mostly housebroken, although he still has an occasional puppy accident. He does great in his crate and sleeps comfortably in it overnight. During the day, he may complain for a minute if he can hear people elsewhere in the house, but he settles quickly.
-KNOWN LIKES: Cuddles, other dogs, people, kids, walks, sniffing, playing, treats, and being wherever his humans are.
-KNOWN DISLIKES: Nothing significant identified. He can initially be a little cautious with unfamiliar people but warms up quickly.
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Kobe (formerly Baldur) came into foster care with his mama, Bindi, and littermates when he was just a couple of days old. He was adopted as a puppy and recently returned to our care through no fault of his own. Now six months old and nearly 60 pounds, he’s grown from the fluffy little puppy we knew into one very big, very lovable goofball. His DNA shows he is primarily Rottweiler and American Foxhound, and he will be a large dog when fully grown.
Notes from the foster: Kobe is a big, lovable goofball who is still very much a six-month-old puppy and has absolutely no idea how big he is! At nearly 60 pounds (and still growing), he’s playful, curious, smart, affectionate, and an absolute cuddle bug.
He loves people, is wonderful with kids, and adores other dogs of all ages and sizes. He’s curious about the resident cat and would really like him to be a playmate, but he’s doing well learning to respect boundaries. Kobe can be a little cautious when first meeting someone new, but he warms up quickly.
Kobe is mostly housebroken and sleeps beautifully in his crate at night. He may protest briefly if crated during the day while he can still hear his people, but settles down. He loves walks, sniffing, playing, toys, treats, and being wherever his humans are. He can also be a little mouthy when excited or playing—typical puppy behavior that we’re working on redirecting to toys.
Kobe is a very big puppy with an equally big heart. He’ll do best with a family ready to continue his training, give him plenty of opportunities to play and explore, and appreciate the occasional reminder that nearly 60 pounds is probably too big to be a lap dog. Kobe, however, strongly disagrees. ❤️
