He is not for the elderly or those who have a weaker constitution. +You MUST be able to be the pack leader. He needs strong leadership and will figuratively and literally walk all over you if you don't set strong boundaries. He is a very energetic and pushy/demanding dog. +If you have other dogs, they MUST also be giant breeds who can match his energy. He cannot be unsupervised around smaller/calmer dogs. He likes other dogs, but he can be too much for them. +If you have cats, he cannot be unsupervised with them. He likes cats, but he can be too much for them. +Although he sleeps like a log, he is NOT a lazy dog. He benefits from long play sessions with other giant breeds who don't mind rough play. +He eats kibble, but he can easily be converted to raw food. He loves getting fresh meat and bones from our local butcher. Would recommend switching him to a raw diet if it is something that interests you. +UTD on shots. (going to be due for new ones soon) +Has not had a gastropexy yet. +Does not eat from a raised bowl. +Free fed. He eats whenever he feels like it. **The Good** +His name is Loki. +He is 2 Years old. +He is very smart, almost human-like. Very trainable. +And also super cuddly. He is a 120lb lap dog, but he understands "off" and "go lay down". +Kennel Trained. +Indoor Dog +House Broken. +Not yet Neutered. Important for bone/joint health, but he could be neutered any day now. +Loves car rides. +Loves other dogs. Does best with young active giant breeds. No sign of same gender aggression as of yet. He currently lives with a male collie and plays great with the neighbor's male Irish Wolfhound. +Loves cats- but be careful, he doesn't know his size and can be too much. +Likes bunnies- but same as above. +Loves road trips and going new places. +Socializes ok with people in public- but tends to bark at men. +Has great recall. He runs around our property with the other dogs and stays close to home, comes back when called 98% of the time. He still has to be supervised whether it's fenced in or not. +Knows sit, down, kennel, and up. **To Be Worked On** He sleeps in his kennel because we can't supervise him in the early a.m. I would love for him to be able to sleep on a comfy couch or bed, but he gets so bored so easily he will find things to fixate on to entertain himself (he's ripped up many many toys, blankets and pillows during down time). For this reason, he is kenneled whenever we're away too. +He is E-collar trained. We want to phase this out, but as it stands it is the only thing in life he takes seriously. +He takes nothing in life seriously...it's a great attitude overall, but it has it's hazards. It is very important for him to have respect towards you. He is too big, heavy, strong, and pushy to ignore you when you say "stop". +Not recommended in households with children and elderly people. I will be rejecting homes with small children off the cuff. Same with small dogs. They're fine in passing in controlled situations, but not for living with. He is TOO oblivious of his size and strength. I cannot stress this enough!! +Have observed some food aggression in him. He can be worked with and has responded well to training, but you need to maintain that training. +Maintain ALL training on a regular basis. This is not the average house pet that can lay around the house every day and be fulfilled. He needs to be with someone who will make him the focus of their life and involve him in everything. He wants to be involved with EVERYTHING. +Jealous/needy dog...it's all about him, the universe revolves around him. +We have poured our heart and soul into his training, but one thing we couldn't touch on was socializing him with people coming to the house (due to covid). If you want a big dog with a scary bark who will protect you and your home, he is the one. He's never bitte
