About Ripley

Ripley is a remarkable companion who thrives on connection with his family. He is crate trained, housebroken, and exhibits intelligence that shines through in his loyal and affectionate demeanor.

This handsome dog boasts a stunning black coat with a silver undercoat, making him quite the eye-catcher. Ripley is good with children, small dogs, and cats.

Offering mental and physical challenges will keep him engaged, making him an ideal match for active owners or those interested in dog sports. At home, he relaxes beautifully and enjoys cuddling after a good play session. Ripley is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for his next adventure.
