Meet Mike – Affectionate, Steady, and Deeply Loyal

Mike is a big, affectionate boy with an easy charm and a calm, steady presence. He’s wonderfully attentive to his people, often leaning in for pats and soaking up affection with quiet gratitude. Despite his size, Mike is beautifully mannered on the lead and walks with a smooth, relaxed rhythm that makes him a pleasure to handle.

Mike forms strong bonds with his people and enjoys being part of everyday life. He can find being left completely alone challenging and may bark, whine, or pace when solo. However, when he has another dog for company, this distress is not present. For this reason, Mike will do best in a home with another dog who provides calm companionship.

When it comes to canine relationships, Mike needs a thoughtfully matched environment. He does best living with submissive, easy-going dogs and is not suited to sharing a home with confident or dominant dogs. With appropriate supervision and guidance, he can manage social situations, but he requires an owner who is confident reading dog body language and setting clear boundaries — particularly given his size and strength. A home with experience handling larger dogs and managing introductions will set Mike up for success.

Mike is clean, tidy, and thrives on routine. He’s happiest when included in the rhythm of home life — whether that’s heading out for a walk, spending time in the yard, or relaxing nearby. With the right match, Mike offers deep loyalty, affection, and a steady companionship that will be incredibly rewarding for the right home.
