Doc is an 1y/o r/w boy looking for an active companion and job. When I picked him up I was told he hadn't had any training but with a good treat he easily sat and went into the down position when guided then remembered the command without a bribe the second. Doc has an exreemly high desire to please and is very inteligent constantly trying to figure out what you want him to do. This guy would be an ideal stock, fly ball or agility dog. He has a strong ball drive and is very treat driven. Doc is able to relax and is just as happy sleeping under my feet in the back yard or stranger watching at the local coffee shop. Doc has gotten along with other dogs and tracks strangers at a distance then and greets them with a gentle tail wag and kiss. The shelter had him listed as not good with cats but good with children and he has been nonreactive to children he has come accross in public while with me.
