Current weight 39 pounds. He will be an extra large dog (80+ pounds) when fully grown. His dad was a 90 pound Huskey and his mom a 60 pound Golden Retriever.
Koa is a real sweetheart and loves a good belly rub. He has lots of playful puppy energy so he's looking for a home with another playful pup or an active family that will help him get plenty of exercise. He is seeking a securely fenced yard to allow him to run off his puppy energy or someone experienced with teaching him how to walk properly on a leash. Even though he is already big, he's still just a puppy and will need repetition and structure to learn how to be a good boy.
He's beginning to learn to play with toys and plays well with his littermate. He's figured out that chew bones are pretty nice.
He is working on potty training and he will need continued training in his new home. He has been working on "no" "come" "off" and "sit".
Due to his size he is already working on his crate training and spending all night in his crate.
Koa will be available for adoption November 29th after he has been neutered, microchipped and received additional puppy vaccinations. He will need a 2nd, 3rd & 4th set once he is adopted.
