Meet Astro! This handsome, we'll behaved boy is about 135lbs of complete gentle giant! I'd say he is a lap dog, but he refuses to get up on the couch - he clearly was trained not to jump on the furniture. Even with coaxing and yummy treats, he won't climb up. He is 5 years young and is as sweet as can be. He is great with dogs of all sizes, cats, and older kids. Although I would recommend kids over 9 years old based on his size. He likes to put his paw on you when he wants attention, so he could accidentally high-five a smaller kid too hard. He is very well trained and knows his basic commands such as sit, lay, paw, wait, bed, place, heal, and go ahead. He is over-all a pretty mellow boy, however he does get his bursts of energy and does occasional zoomies when we encourage him to play. If we kneal down on the ground near him, he will melt into our laps and roll over for some much deserved belly rubs! Like any curly haired breed of dog, his beard gets soaked anytime he drinks water, so we always have a rag on hand to wipe off his chin after drinking. He loves resting his head on your lap, so if you don't wipe his chin first, be prepared for a wet mess 🤣 His hair gets matted pretty easily, so we try to brush him out every few days and bathe him at least once a month. He is fully potty trained. He goes outside to potty 4 times daily. Astro has displayed slight separation anxiety when his people leave. He isn't destructive, he just cries and whines a bit, but settles down after about 15-20 minutes. He always wants to be in the same room as his people. Astro has hyperthyroidism and does requires a thyroid pill twice daily for life. His dosage is 0.8mg and he gets this with breakfast and dinner. He was just updated on his vaccines, had bloodwork, and a dental cleaning done this week also. Interested in adding this handsome giant to your home? Please fill out an app on our website and we will get back to you shortly. No condos or apartments please due to his size. Must have fenced yard. No children under 9 please. Astro does not do well in a crate/kennel.
