Welcome to RAGOM, Whiskey!! This sweet 10-year-old boy is such a cutie. He appears to be a mix of Golden and something that gave him the cutest white spots on his legs. Now, I know that his face looks gray, but I am wondering how much of that could be his white coloring. Just a thought....
Whiskey was surrendered because his human had serious health issues and could not care for him anymore.
This handsome boy, without a doubt, has the Golden personality. He will follow me around the house and yard, gives wonderful kisses, likes to know where I am, sleeps on the floor next to my bed, leans in for pets, and if I stop petting him, he will give me the nudge for more.
He is housebroken and respects baby gates, but does not appear to be interested in a crate/kennel. He is not destructive at all, so I am not concerned about that. Whiskey currently weighs 55 lbs. His vet would like him to lose about 10 lbs, so we are working on that.
Whiskey does have some arthritis in his back hips and is currently taking medication daily for that. It does not seem to slow him down very much. He will still run to the fence line and bark at rabbits, other dogs, and new people. He will follow my direction and stop when I distract him from barking.
Whiskey was reported to not like another dog that is “in your face.” I was told that he will give another dog warning to give him space with a growl. My resident dog is more interested in humans and will pretty much ignore other dogs as long as they ignore him. Whiskey and his foster brother Jack get along very well. They met each other without incident and have gotten along just fine. I would say when Whiskey finds a forever home and if there will be another canine brother or sister, it will have to be one that will respect Whiskey’s need for personal space. I would imagine with the arthritis, he does not want to romp and play like a young puppy would.
