About Champ (Bull terrier) in Andover

Champ is waiting for you at The Rescue Crew, Inc in Andover, MN 55304. Champ is a handsome 75-pound Doberman Pinscher/ Staffordshire Terrier and sweet Ladies Man looking for a gal to call his own. Champ ensures he stays in shape on the regular. His long legs make him a solid runner, who enjoys trail runs, especially bounding through the winter snow. Other times, he shows off by playing fetch by himself (throwing the toy then retrieving it). He is even a great muscle building partner, engaging his gal in a flirtatious game of tug of war. After a suitable exercise session, Champ will engage in good dental hygiene by enjoying a chew toy by the fire or a well-deserved Kong cocktail of peanut butter and milkbone. He takes some time to approach new people on his own terms, but once comfortable is very loving. Champ adores bedtime snuggles with his lady (he enjoys being the big spoon) to warm the other side of the bed. Champ would do best in a home without shared walls (such as an apartment or townhome), as he takes it upon himself to be your protector, and will bark at passers by. Champ has no problem with other dogs, but swipes left on cats or other small creatures. He has not yet been around young children, but due to his size, he may knock over small children in his playful exuberance, so older children (middle school or above) would be a better fit. In terms of adults, Champ will need to be surrounded solely by adult women, in a home with limited interaction from men. He doesn’t like the competition for affection, and likely came from a situation of prior abuse by a male. This boy would also benefit from a home with previous bully-breed experience, and confident, strong guiding leadership. Not only is Champ tall, muscular and handsome, but also is no slouch when it comes to smarts. Champ has learned “sit”, “shake” and “drop” during his time in foster care, and would love to learn more from his special lady. Champ also has impeccable manners tha
