Marty

Male ~DOB: 2/1/2018# Marty has low ball drive. Will chase but not always bring back. He's a big nice boy. High energy at first, but he usually runs a bit to burn off excess energy and settles into exploring and nice handler engagement. He likes to air snap, jump up, needs obedience training but is NOT aggressive. He likes to dig when bored, which is fine as I have a dedicated area for diggers. He has nice food drive and will work for his food. Can be a bit resource guards with his bowl, but I feed him alone and never bother a dog when they eat. We believe Marty is scared of cats. One of them was up high on a shelf in the barn. Marty was sniffing all over the place. One was hidden behind some stuff on the sofa and he never found or tried to flush her. I poked at the kitty on the shelf and got her to meow. Marty stopped his sniffing and cocked his head. He whimpered and whined. He then tried to push the door open to leave. I brought him back to see how close I could get him to the kitty. He put his front feet on the sofa and was a few inches to her nose as she leaned over to investigate him. He jumped down and went to leave the tack room. Overall, he is a super nice boy who needs polishing to his obedience, a person who will love him, and a home to enjoy his golden years.
