Welcome Toodles!! He was originally purchased as a Christmas present and returned after the families landlord found out. So off Toodles went to the local city shelter. We were given a call about Toodles and went to pick him right up!
So Let’s talk Facts about Toodles
He’s cute, he’s fluffy, and waaaayyy to sassy for his little body which will soon be very big (he’s already doubled his size in a week). After a DNA test we confirmed Toodles is 64% Akita and 13% Pitbull and 12% lab/golden. He will be well over 100 pounds full grown.
THIS DOGS MANNERISMS AND PERSONALITY IS VERY STRONG JUST LIKE AN AKITA!
For those of you that are not sure what this means let me explain. Toodles is not a dog that’s going to chill on your couch all day or need a walk here and there. Toodles likes having a job mainly protecting his house and people. At 12 weeks old he patrols my yard with my four large breed dogs barking at people walking by. He’s a bully and all my 4 dogs take it. He burrows in the snow, has 0 fears of jumping in water and refuses to want to come inside in the freezing cold( he’s easy to pick up now so it works). If he thinks an adult dog is out of line he has 0 troubles letting them know how he feels (again 0 fear). He is fluffy but bossy with dogs and people alike so it is essential he has a owner that will lay down the law but most importantly GET TOODLES INTO TRAINING WHILE HE IS YOUNG!
Young children for Toodles is a no. Is he aggressive with them no but he is a baby piranha and does go right for their face as that’s his face level. He does want to tackle my two-year-old and wrestle with him which my son actually enjoys (they both do actually)but I think most children do not, so older kids are best for Toodles.
Does your cat think they are dog? If so Toodles and your cat will totally get along. He loves to wrestle and put his kitty foster siblings head in his mouth. They are great friends. If your cat likes to be left alone and sleep all day, Toodles is probably not the best match for you.
Toodles has been getting a lot of interest from people that are looking for a golden retriever/lab puppy. I think that’s great! However, I want to be super clear if you think you’re getting a golden retriever personality you are far in left field with Toodles.
Is he smart…. Yes very maybe too smart for his own good. Will he try to correct you if you are doing something he doesn’t like… 1000% Are we working with him on this? ABSOLUTELY! Toodles will need an owner that is going to continue with the training we are putting into him. He’s a good boy but want to be very blunt that Toodles is a whole vibe and it’s definitely not the aloof, people pleaser, submissive, lab/golden vibe.
NO APARTMENTS OR TOWN HOMES FOR TOODLES!
Toodles will be neutered at 1 year of age, microchipped, fecal tested, dewormed, updated on all core vaccines and started on flea and tick and heartworm prevention prior to adoption.
