Bandit is a 4-year-old, playful and assertive, neutered male. He is super sweet, loves pets and playing fetchbut it does take him awhile to trust someone new, so handling needs to be conservative as he gets to know a person. Once he trusts you, you can handle him freely.
He has not been around children or small dogs but is good with large dogs. Bandit will need continued work on his leash manners but he is already really good at sit, stay, down and shake. He is food motivated and loves balls and nylabones. This boy needs a home where he can have the space and training he needs to learn how to trust his people in order to become the best dog he can be.
He is a resource guarder, but its manageable, due to this we dont recommend him being in a home with children under the age of 14. He does not do well in a high-traffic home with people going in and out frequently, and needs time to get to know someone before he trusts them. He will absolutely take advantage of someones fear and exploit it, so a confident leader is a MUST, as well as someone who understands his limitations with strangers and resources.

He does okay at the vet with lots of reinforcement. He is muzzle trained and will come with his well-fitted Leerburg muzzle. He does get along with other dogs with a proper gradual introduction. He was overly interested in cats, so probably not a good addition to a cat household.

Bandit needs a rott savvy owner who can call his bluff when he gets big for his britches. Once you have some respect and a bond established with him, he is a great dog. He knows sit, down, shake, kennel, and he comes when hes called. He understands no. He LOVESSSSSS to fetch. Hes highly food motivated and learns quickly, seems to enjoy training.
