Dimitri was found wandering one of the local county roads in South Texas,
he has been my foster dog since the beginning of December 2007. He is
HW- and the vet puts him at just over a year old. He either had a pediatric
neuter or neither of his testicles have dropped. The vet said he can't be sure
either way unless he does surgery to check. He is current on all shots and
walks great on a leash. He has a docked tail and weighs about 40 pounds. He is
on Revolution for fleas,ticks and heart worm.
He is living with my 6 dogs and 7 cats. My dogs range from 1 year to 15
years, and from a doxi to a blue heeler in size. He loves to play and run and
will play for hours with my youngest dog, however sometimes he does play rough
and I have to redirect. He will chase cats but again I can redirect his
behavior. He has been swiped more than once by my cats and is beginning to
develop some respect for their space. He is very smart and learned how
to use the dog door in one day. He has shown no food aggression at all. I
feed all 7 at the same time with separate bowls and he has learning feeding
time rules. He has shown no body or mouth aggression either, I am able to
touch and feel all parts of him. He is hand shy and it has made it
difficult for teaching had signals. He does know stay and sit. I would recommend that he lives with one or two dogs so he can play with and learn the
rules from them. Not sure about small children as I have none but my friends
13 year old comes over and he has been fine with her. My 78 year old mother
was able to handle him also. He is like any other herding dog he needs to be
active and engaged. He is not fully housebroken yet. Any other
questions I have not answered please email me at scoleman@infionline.net or lcrpets1@yahoo.com

A fenced yard is a requirement as is a vet reference. I am willing
to help pay relocation costs.
