Mixed Breed Puppy

Description

Note: Someone flagged my ad for removal, but I don't know why. If you feel like it should be removed, could you please just message me and let me know why instead of blindly hitting the flag button? I am not sure what to fix if you don't tell me. DOB: 3/19/2022. Vet checked, first shots, wormed. Paperwork says "St Bernard Mix". I was told his mother looked to be shepard/lab mix. At 10 weeks he weighed 25#. I don't really see any Bernard in him beyond his coloring. Baron came to me to be trained as a service dog for a disabled Veteran. I volunteer for an organization out of Iowa where they place puppies in the homes of 'puppy raisers' until they are about a year and then they go onto more formalized training specific to the Veteran that has been matched with them. Baron initially passed the testing showing that he would be a good fit for service, but he is showing now that he doesn't have as compliant of a personality that is needed in this line of work. But, just because he can't be a working dog doesn't mean he won't make a perfectly perfect pet! :) **To be clear: Baron is NOT a "service dog" or even a "service dog in training". He was previously a SDIT, but has been disqualified from this line of work.** Now for the good stuff! Baron is house broken and will ring bells hung on the door when he wants to go out. He picked that trick up the very first night he was here. (quick learner!) He loves to be in his crate and will just go lay down in there when he needs a rest. If he whines while he is in there, he has to go outside...he isn't being difficult. He prefers to be outside rather than inside. When he is inside, he doesn't last long before he is ringing the bells to go back out and just hang out in the garage with attached dog run. He does very well with other dogs and small children. He isn't one to jump on you...once in a while when really excited, but I don't let him do it, so he is getting where he hardly tries it anymore. He isn't a huge barker and I have only heard him bark when he was really getting into playing with the other dogs. Baron is fine in the bathtub and rode in the car great. He has not shown any food aggression or issues with me touching his body/paws/ears/etc. There is a rehoming fee for Baron. He will come with his collar, leash, paperwork, and the remainder of his bag of puppy food. I believe he would fit best in a home that doesn't have children under 3 or 4 and also with someone who has experience with training large breeds. If you feel like you could be a good match for Baron, please email me with the ages of children in the home and any prior dog training experience. Thank you!
