Victor is a big ol' boy weighing in at 76lbs, though he doesn't seem to realize it! Victor was under-socialized as a puppy and will need a patient and understanding family to help work with him as he adjusts to home life. He is still discovering new things and will need more help introducing him to the larger world around him. Victor is shy around new people and needs time to trust someone new. Once he gets to know you and opens up, he is a playful teenager who loves to give hugs - this leggy boy might even be taller than you!
He has quite a bit of energy that he needs to get out and can be jumpy and mouthy when he gets frustrated - this can be a lot to manage, especially with a big boy! Keeping him mentally stimulated will be just as important as physical exercise because a teen like him gets bored easily! Victor will need a dog-experienced household, preferably with large dog experience, to help him be the best he can be and is not suitable for a first-time dog owner. Although he is overall a dog that lacks confidence, he has much of his basics down and would benefit from a gentle hand to help him learn to relax in a home.
