About Bilbo:

Like his namesake, Bilbo is a happy, friendly boy with many adventures ahead of him and lots to learn on the way! This boy is enthusiastic and is his happiest when playing with other dogs that match his energy. Bilbo would do well with an older doggy friend to help him learn boundaries and manners in a new environment.

Bilbo is looking for an experienced, dog savvy family, experience with similar breeds is ideal. We recommend puppy school or further training for Bilbo to help him gain more confidence in new environments, as well as help him bond with his new family.

Would suit:

  • An experienced, dog savvy family, ideally experienced with similar breeds to Bilbo
  • An older, well-mannered dog would suit with the correct introductions
  • No cats
  • No kids
