Size

Details

Story

Big Boy's owner, my father, passed away unexpectedly on June 10th. My dad lived alone, so I have been caring for Big Boy and another dog since my dad passed. He was a stray that showed up at my dad's home about three years ago. Big Boy is around 4 years old. He is a very calm, gentle dog. Big Boy craves human attention and loves to follow you where ever you go. He is great on leash and in the car. Big Boy enjoys the water. He is able to scale a 4 foot cyclone fence. He is very agile considering his size. Big Boy is very food and treat motivated. He is very smart and sensitive. Big Boy kennels very well. He has not been an inside dog, but he does not void in his kennel. I believe he will be easy to housetrain. Big Boy would enjoy another like sized dog to play with, but would be fine as an only dog, as long as he has sufficient amounts of human interaction. Big Boy doesn't need a lot of physical activity. Leisurely walks would be sufficient. He is an amazing dog who deserves the best.

Story

Rylie was acquired almost six years ago in Clarksville, TN during my time in Active Duty military. From first getting her, to knowing her, and to now she had quite the separation anxiety. I do also believe she was abused prior to I acquiring her and taking her in ti be part of my life. Rylie is still a timid doggo. Once she gets to know the things, and the people around her she becomes a great dog of character. She loves toys, sticking things in her mouth and enjoys sneezing in your face. (Something I think I unintentionally taught her.) She is great with cats, dogs, tiny little humans and she is the gentlest of any dog I have came up to raise and see. She's not the greatest at letting us know she has to go outside, but there are some small signs like jumping on your lap or inserting her in to your personal space she usually wants to go outside. She did bare a litter when I first acquired her, a litter of eight puppies. They are all healthy, and still living.
