Description
Loki is our bear, a very relaxed and poised dog with a general laid back energy when at home with family. Due to a change in family circumstances and living arrangements, we are making an incredibly tough and emotional decision to let Loki go, as he needs an owner that will continue to provide a good life as a loved pet. Loki has been living in a household consisting of 5 adults and a child, so he used to having people at home with him. The new environment will not be ideal for Loki, and in turn will lead to a very discontent dog. I do not want any money, as my desire is to find the best owner for him - that's all that matters. We have had Loki since he was 10 weeks old, and he is a beautiful and very independent dog, often enjoying his own company for parts of the day. He does love attention, and is very friendly with visitors at home. On walks, he tends to have a happy-go-lucky energy, but he is wary of strangers, so you have to remain in control of his interactions. He is fine with female dogs, but not a fan of other male dogs, or any breed with the short snub snouts – not sure why. People are often surprised at Loki’s nonchalant demeanor - it's safe to say he is aloof by nature. Loki’s current routine consists of 2 walks a day (morning, before first feed and early evening prior to second feed) Each walk ranges between 40-60 minutes. On occasions, Loki will get a lunchtime walk for 10-15 minutes. Regarding playtime, Loki enjoys chase or find the treat, a little tug of war, and loves to chase items (balls, certain toys and rope). He is not a “fetch the ball” kind of dog. He likes to keep whatever he's caught (a ball), until he's ready to chase it again. Most of his toys are chew toys or a form of rope. Note, as you expect with his breed, Loki is not a frequent barker, so if he barks, it is usually for a reason (always check what is triggering him). There are no ongoing medical conditions, but Loki did undergo TPLO on his right hind leg in 2022 due to cranial cruciate ligament rupture. There were and have been no concerns upon his recovery, but you may notice after long periods of sitting and/or napping, he’ll have a light limp for a minute or so. He has no issues with running or going for longer walks. Feel free to reach out for any questions you may have.
