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 |

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?

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.
