Vivid is smarter (and bigger) than your average bear! Heโ€™s a large beardie cross that is seven years old but you wouldnโ€™t know it other than some
worn teeth. His favourite activity is playing fetch and he will drop the ball or toy for you to your feet so you can continue playing with him! Donโ€™t let his size fool you – heโ€™s a cuddle buddy and tries to come for cuddles on your lap – one paw at a time.

Vivid is currently with three other dogs, a cat and six calves – all of which he gets on with amazingly. He has been introduced to children without any issue but there is none at his current foster home. He does get a bit excited and forgets he needs to be a bit gentle with smaller humans (not in an aggressive way) but some guidance here is all that will be needed. He is currently on a lifestyle block with standard seven wire fencing and has never shown any tendency to wander – wherever you (or the sun is) is his happy place.
His recall is very good (although itโ€™s a relatively new skill), and his lead walking has come a long way in a short period of time – he is very clever and this old(er) dog loves to learn new tricks.

Vivid is a big softy who sometimes forgets how big his feet are, but this just makes him more adorable; and his heart is even bigger than his feet! This makes for easy pats when walking as you wonโ€™t need to bend down to pat him. Vivid is completely house trained and sleeps on a duvet on the floor of the bedroom. He is not crate trained due to his size but has no problem chilling in the house or in an outside kennel if youโ€™re not home. He can bark when left alone – not usually for long and this is currently being worked on – a bit of extra training in this area would be good for him but be aware that this may be an issue (at least initially) if you have close neighbours.

He LOVES car rides (almost as much as being brushed) – the wind in his fur and his nose out the window. It doesnโ€™t matter where youโ€™re going, he just wants to go too! Vivid can be quite a robust player when with other dogs – he gets excited – so another large dog that loves to play or no other dog in the family would be best. His exercise requirements arenโ€™t huge – a daily walk and playing fetch keeps this boy happy (add in a tummy scratch and a cuddle and you will have the bestest boy who will be your loyal companion).

Vivid has been desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm treated, and is currently registered.

He has an adoption fee of $350 and, as with all of our foster dogs, weโ€™ll require a vet reference and property inspection prior to adoption.
