Here's what the humans have to say about me:
What a sweet and kind Schnauzer/Doxy Byron is! Is that a Dozer or a Schnoxy ..we're not sure but it's a designer breed mix that is opportunistically being bred for their adorable looks, non-shedding gorgeous coats and great temperaments. As a result of this human greed, these pups are being bred, sold for very high prices or dumped if they get over about 10 weeks old. Farfel's is very happy to rescue these dogs and find them nurturing and committed homes. At 8 months old and just about 11 lbs, Byron is an incredibly beautiful and sweet guy . We all know Byron has arrived when we see the wag that starts at his tail and becomes a full-blown body wiggle...Byron is greeting either a friend or anyone who has the potential to be a future playmate. He is initially cautious...assessing the situation to make sure all is OK. This makes perfect sense as he's been through time spent at a high-kill shelter waiting for his pending euthanasia date. When he was identified with a great temperament, Farfel's spoke up to bring Byron to safety (and a new forever family) in Colorado. Once he senses that all present are his friends, Byron is so warm and friendly that he always hopes every pat and kind word will turn into a friendship. Both people and other dogs are drawn to Byron for his kind attitude and playful ways. He is learning to play with toys and has just begun to wait expectantly...with his eyes so bright and joyful..to run off again with his treasure. Byron seems to be very open to learning about the leash and is developing skills and seems to love the experience. Farfel's Rescue has determined that Byron needs a very involved home where he is an active and important member of the family. We feel that this would be more possible in an adult home (retirees would be perfect) where there's an environment of a true family. A home with older (10+) and respectful children would also be great for Byron. He would be overjoyed to spend parts of the day together either hiking or walking through the beauty of Colorado paths and trails. Then at day's end, he's the ultimate snuggler and sleeps soundly through the night. Byron (like all dogs) would benefit from positive reinforcement obedience group classes that included the whole family - he is a super-smart guy who truly wants to please. Great training will give Byron the skills to be an excellent adult dog. These type of classes will also bring out the great qualities of this SchnauzerX as well as creating a tightly-knit bonding with all family members .
Byron appears to be a non-shedding pup with a beautiful coat that has the potential to be full and luxurious. He will therefore require periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep his hair healthy and matt-free.
Byron will arrive on transport in Denver on Tuesday 11/25. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/. If interested in this sweet and fun puppy, please fill out and return to farfelsapps@gmail.com.
