About Dave

Meet Dave, a big-hearted Mastiff cross with a personality to match his size! He's sweet, affectionate and genuinely playful, the kind of dog who throws himself into life with enthusiasm and wants you right there alongside him. Dave loves his toys and brings plenty of energy to every play session. He can be a little vocal when meeting new people, which is simply his way of working out the lay of the land. With time and the right introduction, he warms up well. Dave is a smart dog with loads of potential, and training will be one of the best investments his new family can make. He picks things up quickly and responds well to structure and positive reinforcement. Dave is best suited to being the only dog in the home, where he can enjoy his space without the pressure of sharing his household with another dog. However, this doesn't mean he can't enjoy canine company! With proper handling, guidance and supervision from his owners, Dave can socialise with other dogs outside the home, with his people helping him navigate these interactions positively. Food is a serious motivator for Dave, which is great news for training and enrichment. Puzzle feeders, Kongs and food-based games will keep his busy mind engaged and his energy well directed. He needs daily exercise and plenty of mental stimulation to be his happiest self, so an active routine is a must. He's also not suited to a home with cats, so he'll need a family who can meet his needs and set him up for success. The ideal home for Dave is one where someone is around for a good chunk of the day, making him best suited to part-time workers or those with a flexible schedule. He needs time, attention and engagement rather than long stretches alone. Give Dave consistent training, plenty of exercise, good food and a devoted person in his corner, and this big, joyful dog will reward you tenfold!
