Gunner 11-151 [1]

Did you ever buy a two seat sports car and then realized that it just didn’t work out with a family of five. Well that’s kind of the situation Gunner finds himself in. He came into RAGOM in early June and was quickly adopted by a wonderful family in Minnesota with three children. It turns out Gunner is not good with young kids and was returned to RAGOM. He seems sensitive to having his back end brushed or patted. We all know how little kids like to climb on the dog so maybe that has something to do with it. So he is now available for adoption. This time no younger kids.

Gunner is a sweet, gentle guy, neutered and fully up-to-date on all shots. He likes women and needs a slow introduction to most men. If not, he gets nervous when someone reaches to pat his head. Maybe in his past he got hit by someone. We don’t know but once he warms up to you, which doesn’t take much time, he is wonderful. He is great with dogs and has no resource guarding with people or other dogs. He willingly shares his water dish with everyone at the park. He is completely housebroken and has full run of the house. He sleeps by our bed at night and goes the whole night without problem.

He loves attention, he LOVES his hard tennis ball, and he is just a sweet dog. He has a wonderful blocky head. He seems to have some allergy issues but is on grain free food (potato and bison) which he inhales very quickly. His tummy hair is thin and we think that is due to allergies. Since he wasn’t in RAGOM very long we are still watching but it seems to be mild.

Gunner is doing well and has discovered squirrels at the local park. Our park’s squirrels are used to dogs so they let the dogs come very close. When Gunner runs at them, they stay about 20 feet up in the tree and just taunt the dogs terribly. Now even at the dog park, they stay outside the fence and drive Gunner nuts.
