I need a single family home with a fenced in yard! I need a home with another dog in it! Bolo is a female St. Bernard x, born around 7/2/2021. She weighs about 75 lbs. She loves other dogs and does great with my 7 year old St. Bernard. Bolo was nervous at first when she met our other dog, so we decided to give her 3 days to decompress in her crate (a safe place) and slowly introduced her to our dog over time. This would be best for Bolo to succeed. She does need a home with another young, playful dog. Bolo is super social with people. She likes to run up to people and jump up on them, so we are working on this with her. If you have kids, you need to keep this in mind since she does jump up and will knock over children until she's properly trained. We recommend a home with older kids. Cuddling is one of her favorite things--she loves to be pet (and wants to be pet constantly). She also thinks she's a lap dog! She will also try to sleep in your bed with you. Bolo is potty trained and will stand by the door and whine when she needs to go out. We only had one accident when we left her at home for a longer period of time. We let her out about every 2 hours during the day, as well as before bed and first thing in the morning. She does sleep through the night, but may need to potty after about 6 hours. She eats 3 x a day. Due to her long, beautiful hair, she does need brushing. She is leash trained and walks well on a leash with a no-pull harness. She knows how to sit on command. She is smart, but can be stubborn! She is easily redirectable, though. She does like to try to dart out the door sometimes because she's curious, so you definitely need to be careful about keeping the front door blocked off from her if you open it. Bolo gets nervous about loud noises, so when you're on a walk with her if there is a loud noise, she may try to run away from it. So you need to have a tight grip on the leash. She also doesn't like to be in the kennel. She has some barrier issues, and doesn't like when dogs are behind fences either. She is a very social dog and needs to be next to you at all times. She is a huge love bug and loves being loved on. She doesn't know what toys are yet and is selective on dog treats. She likes to chew, so definitely needs some chew toys (she loves beef bones). She's young and has puppy-like behaviors and is full of energy. I am not sure she ever lived inside a home before, so we are working on appropriate behaviors and interactions. She needs a family that will love her and spend lots of time with her. They also need to spend time training her. She needs a yard to run in daily or daily walks, or a very active household. If there are kids in the home, they need to be older children that can redirect her jumping onto people, but she is smart and redirectable. show less
