Griffin is a three-year-old bully mix who weighs about 74lbs.
If you want a dog that will love you from an inch away, he’s your guy. If you love walks, he’s your guy. If you want a dog who loves food as much as you do, he’s definitely your guy. Everybody comments on how handsome he is, and they are right! Griffin is a typical bully, loves his people, and is strong, smart & stubborn.
Griffin currently lives with two cats and though he doesn’t bother with the one but will chase the other on occasion and is always closely monitored. He doesn’t know his size and is likely to knock over small children, so older children would be best. Griffin likes to protect his people and will bark and growl at strangers if they approach his person while he’s on leash. Allowing him to maintain his personal space and redirecting works well. Griffin is very dog selective and is leash reactive. Slow introductions are absolutely necessary with all dogs and he typically does better with female dogs and does not like unfixed males. When Griffin has decided he likes another dog he LOVES to play, he is like the energizer bunny and can play forever. Griffin is loyal to his pack, once he’s decided you’re in, you’ll be in forever.
He is incredibly powerful and if you give him an inch he will take a mile. He needs a strong handler and someone who is willing and able to continue with his training and who can be consistent, he’s a very smart boy and highly food motivated! Griffin is currently working on impulse control and furthering his obedience. In his new home Griffin will need an outlet for his physical AND mental energy to keep him calm and happy. During the day while his foster family are away, he happily snoozes in his crate.
