Gatsby is a sweet, loyal, loving 7 year-old active pup. He is intelligent, loves to learn commands, games, and to bond with his humans--he wants to be wherever you are. Gatsby loves: long walks, car rides, rolling in snow, Frisbee, belly rubs, and being a ham for your attention. Gatsby mostly does very well on a leash, has a strong pull every now and then, but can be quickly corrected with verbal commands. Gatsby can be slow to warm with new people, but treats help! Gatsby tends to be afraid of children, aggressive dogs, or humans who approach quickly or flail about near his personal space, so keeping him safe from these interactions is best. He has had some rough encounters with unleashed aggressive dogs, as well as flailing humans, and has snipped or bitten in self-defense on rare occasion. He does get along with other dogs of all sizes if introduced properly over time. For the right home, Gatsby's quiet and sweet personality will quickly earn his way into your heart.
