Dante is 9 1/2 months old.  He weighs between 80-85 lbs currently.  He eat 6 cups a day total, Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy.  He just got fixed 2 weeks ago, healed well.  He is up to date on all of his vaccinations and just got his nails clipped.  His ears are natural.  His coat is quite thick and shiny.

No observations any allergies.

He is very smart and picks up new commands very well.  He knows sit, down, stay, easy, settle, and paw.  He was crate trained from the time that he came to us, but recently seemed to struggle in the crate.  

He walks well on leash...he will stop and sit when I stop walking, and does not get reactive when passing other dogs or people.  He is very socialized with both people and other dogs. He has spent alot of time at his trainer's house, who has 3 other dogs and loves playtime over there.  He exhibits play bowing and submissive play, and is very high energy.  He has spent some time around kids, but not alot of exposure to young children.  Although we have a cat in our house, he has not spent any time around her.  He has seen her, and was curious when she strolled through, but they have not been socialized together.

As I mentioned, our rehoming needs are due to him just not fitting in our household.  His energy level is very high, and although he spends alot of time out in the backyard playing with sticks and toys (he LOVES the flirt stick), and we spend as much time out there and down in the basement as we can, it seems obvious that he wants more attention.  He has chewed on some items in our basement that we have removed so that he didn't have access to them.  He is potty trained, but in the last week has been having several accidents in the basement.  He has been given full roaming access to our basement, but not to the rest of the house.

He is very affectionate and velcro (of course, he's a dobie).  He will lick your hand, lean against you, and bury his head in your arm.  We have never seen aggressive behavior from him at all.  He loves to run.

He would do best in a family that understands how to provide constistent structure to a very active pet and a family that has an additional dog that would play with him to help keep him busy and drain his energy.  The new owner must have a yard.  He will not do well in an apartment setting.  

He is located in the Denver, Colorado area.  Local pick up is available or the new buyer is responsible for transport.
