Hi,

Just wanted to let everyone know Gabe (a.k.a. Twix) passed his CGC test last night, with flying colors. He had already passed it once but he needed a little "tune up." He's doing great and says "hi." Thanks for all the great work.

Thanks,
Phil

 

Previously known as Twix, this adorable and smart boy was renamed "Gunnar" by his foster home. Can you believe we found such cutie pie on deathrow at the shelter? Gunnar kept a positive attitude the whole time despite his scary situation, while we tried hard to find a foster home before his time was up. Thankfully we were successful and Gunnar is now living the great life in foster care.

Serious Gunnar

Don't let that serious face fool you! It's an act for the camera ;-) Gunnar is all but serious. This little guy is indeed quite the clown and full of charm.

Peggy,

Twix's first afternoon and evening went perfectly, aside from me putting the crate together wrong, which resulted in him escaping and eating all the cat's food. Man that dog can eat!! We give him 2 cups of food, twice a day, and he goes through it in well under a minute. He didn't take to the new brand of food very well... there was quite a "mess" in the crate when I went home for lunch this afternoon to check on him. But I'm sure that will pass soon. Overall he is doing very well though, walks perfectly on his leash and minds (almost) perfectly. The neighbors are all impressed with the jumping through the hoop trick. Thanks again for all the help.

Thanks,
Phil

This little boy is just too cute with his chocolate and caramel brindle coat. He is super sweet and deliciously cute like a tasty candy bar. Gunnar is already turning heads with his good looks, and look at those eyes.... Can you imagine what a hunk he will be as an adult?

Future hunk | Beautiful Gunnar | Cute Boy

Gunnar is fostered in a home with dogs and cats and is having a blast. There is an adult Pit Bull in his foster home as well as a small size dogs. He does great with both of them. He loves the cats too and has learned to respect them when they want to be left alone.

He is learning good manners and some basic training. His foster mom is a dog trainer and she has done an amazing job training Gunner and teaching him all kind of tricks. See below for more details. Gunnar is very smart for his age and a quick learner eager to learn new tricks and show off his ability with obedience.

Gunnar is getting great socialization and is growing into a real little people-lover. He likes nothing more than making new friends and his funny antics are irresistible. Hurry and send your app ASAP. This cute little guy is definitely one of a kind!

Gunnar has mastered -

To come on command, sit, stay, laydown, roll over, jumping through a hoop, not to jump up on people and "playing dead". He also will hold the stay command for up to 3 minutes and stations very nicely during training time. He fetches and releases toys on command.

Gunnar has mastered some concepts too - No, stop, that's enough and to be easy. To wait - I can put his bowl of food down and he will not move toward it until I give the command to do so and this lets me go up and down our stairs without him tripping me or being right underneath my feet. Back - Gets away from the door when people are entering or exiting a door. Get out of the kitchen - Get a toy - Timeout on stationed positions. To the bat cave (Go to your kennel) -To sit at the back door to be let in.

Basically, Gunnar has already learned to be a well behaved family companion, who not only respects rules and harmony in a house, but who also knows more obedience commands than most pups his age. He should be a pleasure to own and promises to be a fun-loving companion full of potential and training abilities.
