This handsome lad is Ivan!  He’s a friendly, affectionate boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart.  Full of energy and enthusiasm, he’s always ready for fun and loves nothing more than chasing after tennis balls.  He’s a very excitable and giddy dog who doesn’t always realise his own size, so he can jump up when greeting people or when he’s excited.  He is also quite vocal at times, especially when he wants your attention.   He knows his basic commands and is eager to interact with people, but he will need continued training and guidance, particularly when out walking as he is very strong on the lead.  Due to his size and strength, he would benefit from an experienced and active owner who can continue his training and provide him with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.  Ivan would benefit from a private secure garden where he can safely have off lead time to play fetch with his tennis balls.

Ivan has interacted well with other dogs whilst in our care so we feel he potentially could be rehomed with another dog of similar size and energy levels following a successful meet and greet.

As Ivan came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him so would prefer any children in the home to be 16+ years.

No cats for Ivan.

If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months please wait until you return to apply for a dog.
