Sam 08-188 [1]

Welcome to RAGOM Sam!

Sam is a 18 month old Golden/Basset or Beagle/Aussie mix.  He weighs 49.5 lbs and is a very handsome boy.  He's got the eyeliner look of a Beagle, which makes his eyes even more beautiful.

Sam joined the RAGOM family due to his previous family developing allergies.  It was a very sad good-bye today and I really felt bad for the family.  It was clear that Sam was very loved and very well taken care of.  Thanks to Sam's former family, Sam is up to date on his vaccinations.  He will get a microchip this week and he'll be good to go.

Sam lived with kids and a cat and did well with both.  He had free run of the house, was not destructive, and was trained to an invisible fence.

Sam does suffer slightly from allergies and has an occasional ear infection, but all is managed with little effort.

Sam is a beautiful boy - fairly calm too for a 18 month old.  When we got home today, he played nicely with my pack.  Sam didn't wander and if I thought he was getting too far away, I called his name and back he ran.  He knows basic commands like come, sit, and shake.  I understand that he almost has roll-over down pat as well.  He's had one level of obedience training and I know he'll do well with the next level.  Sam is very food motivated, so he'll be a quick study.

I took a couple of pictures of Sam today.  They are not the best and they do no do him justice.  Sam was far too busy today to pose for pictures.  We'll try again in a few days.

I'll write more as I get to know Sammy better.
