training a new goofball

[baronrenfrew]

So this spring our 10 year old Doberman mix Duchess died - suspect heat stroke. It was a hot day in May and we were on the trails as we have almost every weekend and she fell behind. I went back and she was expired.

So given the covid demand for every animal drove prices to ridiculous, we planned to wait until winter. In late August we called a rescue we knew near Quebec city and they had this dog - Husky x German Shepherd. So he has been on a leash or on a rope since we got him and the last few days complete freedom when we’re outside. Not one to bark at people: he’s a lover not a fighter. Now working on guarding chickens instead of them being another toy to chase.

He's beautiful, congrats!

Beautiful, you lucked out, huskies tend to be pretty destructive, yours looks more of a Shepard, very handsome

So sorry to hear that you lost Duchess . Condolences. It's always hard to lose a good dog .

Your new boy is very lucky to be adopted by your family and it sounds as if he fits right in :).

Oh man, he's beautiful.
And you get to skip the whole puppy stage of soiled carpets, gnawed furniture and midnight bathroom breaks.

He's really handsome. Congratulations!

Thanks y'all! He is ok off leash now outside the house. Now i go to the woods and he is tied to the tractor, and coming back I let him loose (before deer hunting season of course) and he runs around but does follow me home.
