This is a very hard decision, but due to a change in living circumstances, I need to find the right home for my boy.

He is a 7.5-year-old American Bulldog x , and he is a big, strong, high-energy dog with a huge personality.

About Cruze:

Extremely ball-driven, this is his world. If you’ve got a ball, you’ve got his full attention

Very high energy, needs space, stimulation, and an active owner

Fantastic alert/guard dog, will absolutely let you know if someone is approaching

Good with stock, has been around farm animals and does not chase them

Crate trained, crate included if needed (he loves it)

Loves to swim!! and loves car rides!! (just gets very excited!)

Has lived indoors his whole life and is very people-focused

Temperament:

Cruze is a lovely, loyal dog, but he is also a lot of dog.

Very excitable and full-on… he has no “off switch” during play

Can be physically overwhelming (will bowl into you when excited — not aggressive, just unaware of his size)

Best suited to experienced owners who understand strong breeds

Not suitable for small children due to his size and energy

Other Animals:

Okay with cats (has lived with one), but will still chase in play

Can be temperamental with other male dogs

Careful introductions required with other animals

Important Notes:

He is currently intact…happy to have him neutered for the right home

Needs space…ideally a rural property, lifestyle block, or very active home

Would suit someone wanting a deterrent/guard presence as well as a companion

The Right Home:

This boy needs:

Someone confident and experienced with large, powerful breeds

A home where he can burn energy daily (ball play is everything to him)

Someone who understands that while he is loving, he is not a low-maintenance dog

Cruze has been an incredible dog, and this decision has not been made lightly.

I will be taking the time to ensure he goes to the right home only.
