What a smashing boy Boyce is. A fun loving playful youngster who has bags of potential with the right owners.

He interacts very well with people, but due to his age he can get quite excitable and needs to learn some self-control at times. However he's very eager to please and willing to learn, and already knows sit and has good focus when playing with toys.

Boyce is going to be a large dog when fully grown so he will need to live in a house with a garden where he can burn off some energy, and to provide a secure space to continue with his training. Ideally he needs a rural or semi rural home, as although he adores people he can be wary in some new situations, so he would benefit from living in a quieter area without too many distractions.

Due to Boyce's age and tendency to get over excited during play, he's not suited to live with young children. Yet older teens of 16+ who are used to being around large energetic breeds would be fine. Boyce could also live with another dog but they will need to be confident enough to keep him in line when he gets too over excited.

His new owners should also have experience of owning guarding breeds before and be active enough to keep him mentally and physically stimulated. He can be a soppy boy and very people motivated so he will need a multi carer household to help prevent him from over bonding.

Boyce really is a lovely dog who if taught properly has all the makings of an affectionate and rewarding family pet. If you feel you can give Boyce the right home please contact us on 020 7627 9234 or come down and register.
