Hi everyone, I am the obedient and patient Oslo (or Oz for short) and here's some information about me:
Breed: American Staffordshire / Boston Terrier crossAge: ~ 1 yearGender: MaleWeight: 55 lbsHeight: 24 inchesHighlight(s): Patient, kind, obedient
I am a rescue dog from Mexico and was elated to find a lovely family who took me in in April 2024! Unfortunately, these lovely people have gone through some challenging family circumstances and have decided that it would be best for me to find a new home.
My current owner says that I am very sweet with a sensitive demeanor, obedient, easy to train and eager to obey. I don't jump (unless authorized to do so), bark or resource guard. What can I say, I aim to please! They even provided me with professional obedience training; fancy! Here's some other training credentials I can brag with: I am fluent in commands like sit, wait, leave it, up (into trunk of car), back, no accompanied with a whistle sound. My favourite words are however "walkies” for walks and “yummy treats” for treats/food.
My first love is people and being part of a family. I enjoy playing with kids (currently I am in a family with a 5 year old), as well as dogs, however I still have to figure out how to play well with puppies. I guess as I get older and wiser, I will get more comfortable with that.
Walks are my second love and I do very well off-leash and when visiting the dog park and did I mention playing ball? I love to catch things from the air or fetch a stick thrown into the water. Adventures in the forest are a firm favourite and I really don't mind a car ride. A few tricks I have learnt are to open doors and push the lever down with my paw, as well as opening screen doors with my paw or nose.
My ideal home would be one with another larger dog, as I tend to get a bit lonely and bored. Currently I have my stuffies, but I tend to start dissecting them when I am really bored. Would love a partner to do zoomies with!
On the topic of food, I have been trained to sit off to the side (outside kitchen area) when my people make food or while the family is eating. Gotta show the appropriate level of respect and then I am rewarded with vegetables, mostly carrots, celery and broccoli. For some reason though I seem to be allergic to beef, but love chicken and tuna fish. My current owner gives me some chicken kibble twice a day and as a spcial treat, a beef shin bone that I can take my time with when I am bored. I will swallow rawhide or beef tendons whole, so don't get those anymore.
I typically have 3 walks a day, including 1 longer walk or dog park visit. For my breed at least 45 minutes fast walk/running per day is recommended. When on leash, I will sit to the side when other dogs pass, so I don't become too excitable (as I am very social).
My perfect family will have a strong, attentive, consistent and loving alpha-type personality, whom I will adore, enjoy and obey my whole life.
Energy Level: low-moderate. His breed should be active (fast walk/run) for an hour/day, we walk him three times per day with one of the walks being a longer one/or a visit to the dog parkI get along with:Dogs: yes, however does not prefer puppiesCats: shows interest/not sureKids: yes, and will obey children (see video below)
Fears: Some separation anxiety. Does not like nail clippers, needs a distraction like lick mat etc if clipping nails--a two person job preferably
Training: has completed formal training, has also been trained to: sit outside of kitchen area when food is being eaten or prepared (raise hand with flat palm facing Oslo for sit command), tap your nose twice with index and middle finger for "quiet" command, etc...
Leash skills: Yes, very good on leashHouse trained: YesHealth notes: No health issues. Neutered: YesVaccinated: Yes, including optional Lyme vaccineMicrochipped: NoCrate trained: No
