Vinny

Our sweet Vinny <br/><br/>At just 9 months old, Vinny is already around 80 pounds, incredibly tall, and still growing! We expect him to top 100+ pounds when fully grown, with a stature closer to a Great Dane than your average dog.<br/><br/>While Vinny may look like a doodle, he is not one. He is a unique mix of Olde English Sheepdog and Black Russian Terrier - two working breeds, with strong guardian instincts inherited from his Black Russian Terrier side. <br/><br/>Vinny is looking for a very specific home with an experienced owner who understands guardian breeds and is committed to continuing his training and socialization. He has shown some protective tendencies in the home, which is typical of his breed mix, and will need a confident handler who can guide him through adolescence and help him continue developing into a well-rounded adult dog.<br/><br/>The good news? Vinny is an absolute sweetheart with the people he knows and loves. We genuinely LOVE him! <br/><br/> Loves other dogs of all sizes<br/> House trained & Crate trained <br/> Great at doggy daycare <br/> Walks nicely on leash<br/> Knows some commands<br/> No resource guarding with people or dogs<br/> LOVES water and would be thrilled to join a pool-loving home<br/><br/>Because of his guardian breed traits, Vinny is looking for a home without children and one that doesn't have a constant flow of visitors. His future owner should understand that management, training and structure are important parts of owning a guardian breed and that he may need to be crated when guests visit.<br/><br/>Vinny is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and fostered in Sarasota. His adoption fee is $400. <br/><br/> Apply: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt<br/> Guardian breed or similar breed experience required.
