Name:Kovu
Age:1 year
Sex:Male
Spay/Neutered: No
Breed or mix: Boxer
Registration: AKC and I can also put you in touch with the breeder.
Vetting: needs more shots
Size: he is on the small side. He's short but maybe 50 pounds.
About: So, Kovus breeder took him back from his original owner due to them leaving him outside in a kennel for the first 10 months of his life. We already had a dog from her from a separate liter and she asked if we wanted to take him on, as she knows we do a lot of sports with our dogs and have experience working with reactive, and abused dogs. We said yes.
We have had him with us for almost a year now and he has gotten a lot better with a lot of things, but my house is on a crate and rotate system and he absolutely hates going into the crate. He flattens onto the ground, runs away, or does anything else to avoid going in. He hasn't bitten yet or even tried too but he gets extremely stiff and I think if pushed into a corner he would bite.
Training:He has done some basic training, and some work in PSA I think
But I am unsure how much.
Evaluations: myself, the breeder.
Dog’s Behaviors: Resource guarding, which we fixed but can always pop up again, he is very afraid of women. He will not interact with new women in public, at our training center, or even with my fiance. He also hates the crate. He will do anything to avoid going into it. He pancakes on the ground, runs away, refuses to come inside, or gets extremely stiff. He has never bitten, but I feel like he might if he is pushed enough.
No cats. He has very high prey drive
Dog’s Pros: He is very loving with me. He is very happy when he isn't going near his crate, and he is dog friendly. He just doesn't understand dog behavior so much so he may annoy some dogs. But he has never shown any type of aggression to any of my current dogs.
Dog’s location: Buffalo NY
Pick up or meet: either depending on distance
