Health Issue(s)

  • Receives daily dose of glucosamine to support joint/cartilage health.
  • Shows periodic sensitivity in hips if walking or playing for extended periods.

Temperament

  • This cuddly couch potato is very much a people dog.
  • Damien will sound the alarm when unfamiliar people enter the property but warms up to strangers quickly.
  • Curious boy that likes to explore new things.
  • Recall is improving daily but he occasionally demonstrates selective hearing.
  • Loves to chase balls and play with toys. He really enjoys play time but playful bursts are normally short.
  • Gets a little protective of high valued items, such as bones.
  • Likes to go for walks and spend time outside but prefers to be indoors.
  • Tolerates grooming well, nail trimming is no problem with 2 people.

Owner Suitability

  • Fenced yard is a must as his love for exploring may cause him to stray.
  • Experience with large breeds, specifically Rottweiler’s, is preferred.
  • Damien is not suitable for a home with young children.
  • Not particularly dog friendly but would be able to cohabitate with a docile female.
  • Requires daily walks but his energy level is low-moderate, he’s normally content to just hang out.
