What a handsome young boy! Memphis is a two-year-old purebred English Cream Golden Retriever. He was one of four dogs living on fenced acreage outside of town. The surrendering owners are moving into town and couldn't keep all the dogs, so he was surrendered to RAGOM.
He is a large young man at just under 90 pounds. The Veterinarian says he is in great shape; "well muscled" is the way he put it. He has been brought up to date with shots and his neutering has been scheduled for next week.
Memphis likes to be around people and appreciates attention. For a dog that has run free most of his life, we were surprised at how well he walks on a leash. He comes when called; he sits upon command, but "down" needs some work. He isn't eating as well as he should because of his change in location and schedule, but he fits in better and better with each passing day.
The neighbor's young girls came over to meet him and he followed them around just like a little puppy dog. They got along splendidly. We have not exposed him to cats, but he seems to like each and every dog that he's met. He plays well with our resident dog.
We tried throwing a ball for him. He followed it, gave it a good looking over, and returned without it. He has found the dog toy box and has selected a few that he carries around the living room. He'll pick one up at bedtime, but drop it in the hallway on his way to sleep on the floor in the bedroom.
He respects a baby gate when we've left him home alone for short periods and has not gotten into any mischief. The previous owners suggested that he might counter surf or take items out of an open trash container. They also said that he would play in his water dish. We haven't really seen any of this behavior, but he hasn't been presented with undue temptation, either.
