My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If you’re searching for a super smart puppy who would love to graduate obedience school at the top of his class, your search ends here. Meet Gavin, an adorable 14-week old mountain cur puppy. He is a laid back boy who likes to hang back and take it all in… which he legitimately does. He is smart as a whip and very attentive. Gavin is medium energy, and is perfectly content with his current schedule of play and nap rotation. Given he’s already 16 lbs, he will be a bigger boy as he continues to once he reaches maturity (I would guess somewhere in the 55 to 75 lbs range).

Gavin is a friendly boy who gets along with all… people, kids, dogs, cats… you name it! Gavin is crate trained, and is making a ton of progress on house training. As he is still a young peanut, one can expect all of the antics that accompany heathen puppyhood (chewing, work on manners, work on training, leash manners, etc). Given the nature of this breed, an experienced and confident handler would be best suited.

Gavin is adoptable in the northeast (CT, DE, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, RI, VA, VT). If you’re interested in adopting Gavin, please complete an adoption application at www.bigfluffydogs.com, and then email kim@bigfluffydogs.com. Thank you!


If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
