True to his name, Bear is a big, lovable boy with a heart just as large as his size.
This Labrador x Rottweiler mix has a stunning dark brindle coat that makes him as striking as he is charming.
Bear is an affectionate dog who loves spending time with people.
He enjoys pats, playtime and especially food, which makes him a motivated learner when it comes to training.
In fact, he already knows how to sit on command and is ready to keep learning with his future family.
Being a big boy, Bear also has a big energy bank to match. He’s always keen to explore the world, which means he can sometimes pull on the lead when on walks.
He can also get excited and a little jumpy, and because he doesn’t always realise how big he is, he may come across as a bit rough or ‘rude’ in his enthusiasm.
With continued training, structure and plenty of exercise, Bear will thrive and grow into a wonderful companion.️
Bear gets along with other dogs, but he can become excited when meeting them and may overwhelm smaller dogs, so we recommend a home with no small dogs.
Because of his size and enthusiasm, Bear would do best in a home with children aged 10 and over who can handle his personality.
Bear may be able to live with cats, but this would require very slow introductions and ongoing supervision.
When it comes to fun, Bear is always ready. He loves toys and is great at dropping them so the game can continue.
If you’re looking for a big, beautiful dog with lots of love to give, and you’re ready to help guide him with training and adventures, Bear could be the perfect addition to your family.
