Apollo – 1-2 year old male Cross-Breed
Apollo is a large sized, long haired very handsome Cross-Breed boy. People friendly and seems great with dogs. Really easy going, a big, gentle cuddly bear!!
Not heavily tested with cats though. Would suit most homes with space for a large dog although children must be 12 or older.
Apollo walks well on the lead, but has not been tested off lead as yet. Apollo is a fantastic dog to have around, he learns quickly and wants to please. This lad will be a pleasure to train, and will be a lovely addition to the family!
*Update from foster family*
Apollo is a very playful energetic young dog in a powerful body, he has been very social and tolerant with my 2 female dogs but not so good with male dogs. This may be due to being in a home with 2 female dogs or just his general stress at this time. He has a mass of energy and loves to run up and down the garden jumping and leaping as he goes (this is beautiful to see). He is very strong and a bit clumsy but just wants to run, play and explore.
He needs some extra training on the lead but to be honest we probably needed more training than he does because he has been very responsive to close right hand walking, we have been stopping when he pulls. We have found no response to calling his name but “come on boy” and finger clicking have been working with a small treat. He will sit with a gentle push on his bottom and a treat. He has responded to all that has been asked of him, he will try everything to see if he is allowed to chew it but a sharp no always stops him. He has an extra long lead for him to explore in the woods but he wants to be free and will try to escape the lead by jumping and leaping…… in all these things he has responded well to commands. We feel he is looking for a strong pack leader, strong in strength to help him learn and strong in leadership to be devoted too.
We have cats that are not always around but we carry them through the house and they have been passed over Apollo’s head without him showing much interest. But he has chased them in the garden when the other dogs have, so i cant say that he is cat tolerant.
He has been around children and the only danger he is is obviosly his size, his no sense of direction and wanting to be 1st in the queue for playing.
Ian has taught him to wait for his food and he is begining to stand back while i give the other dogs a treat.
He needs someone totally devoted to him not because he is bad but because he is so very very good and beautiful, he has no major problems that we can see that training and love wont sort out.
He is very affectionate, loves cuddles and loves being involved in all that is going on…and he snores.
Currently in foster in the Cambridgeshire area.
