Background: Rhys is the entire package! He is an amazing dog from wonderful lines. He has a personality that will capture you instantly. He loves people, dogs, water, running, toys, and treats. He does get a little car sick though. He has been well taken care of over the years of his breeding career. He has received one dental and will receive another with his scheduled neuter. He has had his eyes examined two times- and cleared just a few months ago as a matter of fact. He is a very healthy young man with a lot of years ahead of him to offer companionship. He is such a happy dog. He sits at about 8.0-8.5 lbs in size right now. Because he is coming from a breeding environment, we encourage you to plan to teach him your routine for potty training. At this time, he is used to using indoor potty pads or using a dog door to go to the yard to go potty. We keep our males in belly bands. The belly bands can be purchased off of Amazon and easily washed in the washing machine. We will also send some home with him too! When he is neutered, and from experience and feedback from our previous clients, once a male is removed from a setting that there are intact female dogs, potty training should be pretty easy to manage. Remember to have patience, consistency and open mind when adopting an adult dog of any breed! He eats Purina ProPlan and loves it. He isn't leash trained since we own property and he runs and runs, but he is super smart and can be taught to wear a harness and walked on a leash. This is a dog that would love to join you camping, hiking, fishing, etc. He loves the outdoors. He loves to snuggle in your bed, but will also sleep in a dog bed. He is crate trained. Rhys is a fully health tested male. He has been genetically health tested through Embark Vet. He has had his eyes, patellas and heart both certified with the orthopedic foundation for animals. We require that you will keep in touch with us if you want to adopt him. It generally takes 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn a new routine, and 3 months to start to feel at home. We do require that you submit a puppy application for consideration. This is not a first come first serve placement. The application fee is non-refundable. I will allow public meet in greets for local families.
We encourage all prospective adopters to really think this through and not take on a dog that may not work for you. We want his next home to be his forever home. To submit an application for Rhys, please use our puppy application for consideration.
