chief

Chief is getting older and is looking for his last home. Chief is a sweet dog that loves to just be with you, doing whatever you are doing. He will hang out with you all day, or snuggle on his pillow. Inside, he is house trained and knows to alert you when he needs to go out. Chief is so loving and bonds deeply once he gets to know you. Don't let his age fool you. He still has plenty of energy and loves to go on adventures. We can tell that he loves being on the farm but really wants to have a family of his own. He gets along well with other dogs with proper introductions. He chases the barn cats so we aren't sure how he would do with a house cat. He is very smart and wants to please so he may do okay with some training. He definitely has had e-collar training. We use a bark collar during the day, but only turned to tone. He does not bark with it on. Chief is okay on a leash, but needs a pack leader, or he will drag you around. He is a strong boy and somewhere learned to pull on the leash. With firm direction, he will walk nicely beside you. He does not like his feet touched and is not cooperative with nail trimming. We have worked with him a bit, but he is pretty adamant about not having them trimmed. He will need work to successfully trim his nails without sedition. Chief's one draw back is that is not okay with children of any age. Somewhere in his past, a child harmed him and he does not trust any children. He needs an adult only family. If children are to visit, he should be kenneled and not asked to or allowed to interact with children. Chief is an old man now and really deserves to have a comfy couch to spend his final years. Can he crash on your couch? Contact us today to meet this sweet old man.
