| CHAMP - Boxer/Golden Retriever Mix |
|
| 4/4/2008 - I took Champ to the vet this past Tuesday. Champ was given a clean bill of health and he is now up to date on his vaccinations. He did really well waiting to be seen at the vet's office. Champ is continuing to do awesome with the other dogs. The other dogs aren't as playful as this little guy, so Champ will go up and bark at them until they start to play with him. We have learned that Champ vwalks great on a leash if you keep it short. Champ loves to play fetch a lot but he doesn't like to release the ball. I have learned that if you grasp the ball and firmly tell him "No" once or twice that he will let go. More updates to follow soon.... 3/28/08 - Champ is a beautiful 2 year old Boxer/Golden Retriever Mix. He is fawn colored with a small white patch on his chest and white tips on each paw. Champ still has his dew claws and a full tail. His tail is really cute because it curls up. If you sit down next to him on the floor his tail actually curls around your arm. Champ will be going to the vet's this Tuesday to get up to date on all of his shots. I don't know if Champ is good with cats but he's great with my 2 boxers. At night Champ sleeps with my 17 year old son. During the day when no one else is home Champ spends his time in a crate. His past owner said Champ loves to chew on things he shouldn't be chewing on. When we first got Champ I didn't think he was ever going to lay down and take a nap. I was assuming that he was a pretty high strung dog. After being here a couple of days though, I came to realize that Champ was stressed and he has calmed down a lot. Champ likes to take walks put pulls quite a bit on the leash. We believe this can be corrected with a gentle leader harness. If you like to play fetch, then Champ is your dog. Champ loves to play fetch but he doesn't like to let go of the ball when he brings it back. Another thing that Champ loves to do is play tug of war. He will do either of these things all day if you let him. Champ is by far the most active dog I have had in rescue so far. Champ is anxiously awaiting his forever home. 3/25/08 - We picked up Champ from his owner a few days ago. Champ was surrendered to us because he growled one time at his owner's 15 month old child. The owner didn't want to take any chances that it would happen again or escalate to a bigger issue. I will be giving more of an update on Champ in a couple of days once we get to know him better. |
