Tyson is the best of both worlds, a beautiful big boy on the outside but a sweet and playful pup inside! This gorgeous brindle can be a rambunctious and energetic companion and will suit a home looking for a young companion for adventures and play.
Personal space? Yes, personally Tyson would prefer to be in your space. This sweet little snuggler loves affection and has a very lapdog attitude despite his size. He adores his humans and would prefer a home where there is WFH, or people he can accompany to the office where's he's a well-manered coworker. He is currently in care with a female hound and would love a calm and confident canine in his forever home to model those good behaviours as he continues to mature.
Tyson can be a bit jumpy and mouthy in excitement (after all he is still just a young lad filled with enthusiasm for life) and although he is coming along well with patience and training, we think a home without resident small animals, small humans, or elderly or frail people would best set him up for success.
Surrendered to our program as a puppy, Tyson was said to have suffered an injury to his back that made him unsuitable for racing. Extensive scans and tests with a veterinary specialist have shown he is healthy with no identifiable injuries. However Tyson has since been diagnosed with a novel condition known as paroxysmal gluten-sensitive dyskinesia (PGSD), which can cause him temporary pain and limb weakness. His condition is now managed well with a strictly gluten-free diet that he will need to remain on for life. With his diet in place, we do not anticipate that any further medical interventions or treatment will be necessary, and he is now a happy and healthy boy.
Tyson is a smart boy who loves to learn; he knows to go to his bed when asked, has mastered stairs, and will even sit like the best boy on his mat in the pub. In a patient and loving home, this affectionate and sweet young lad will blossom - and he has so many years of the good life ahead of him!
