Say hello to Ripley! This handsome boy is looking for a new forever home full of love and adventures!
Ripley is a lovely, confident boy who loves getting stuck into everything! No matter what the weather, rain or shine, he is ready! He possesses a wonderfully inquisitive nature and revels in exploring new and stimulating environments. You'll often find him trotting off to investigate a fresh scent or area before circling back to his trusted handlers for a reassuring check-in.
He may take a little longer to build a strong bond with his handler but once he does he is truly a polite gentle giant who is sensitive with those he trusts. This is particularly noticeable when it comes to having his harness or lead put on, and he melts for a quiet moment of fuss and attention.
While Ripley can take a little longer to process and respond to instructions, his willingness to learn is undeniable. With consistent, gentle encouragement and a predictable, positive routine, he is already making great progress in mastering basic obedience skills. He is highly motivated by play and treats, responding well to a tennis ball or a bit of cheese! He has been quickly grasping new concepts as his handlers dedicate more time to his training. So far he knows how to sit, wait, paw and other paw, through your legs and sometimes he knows to do these with hand signals not just vocal commands!
To ensure Ripley has the very best chance at a successful transition, we are specifically seeking a home that can offer both the physical space and emotional resilience needed for a dog of his size and strength. It is essential that his new owners are confident and comfortable managing a large breed. Ripley is a dog with an immense capacity for love and devotion; he simply requires the right secure, reassuring environment to help his wonderful, true personality shine through. Previous experience with large and giant breeds is highly desirable.
