My story

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

Walter is very sweet, intelligent, and a quick learner. We bought him from a reputable breeder in PA when he was about 9 wks old and have all his medical records.

We have worked to train him, including bird hunting seminars and with a private trainer. He sleeps all night in his crate without a peep, and goes in without a fuss during the day for hour long naps as well. He has never had accidents in the house- he rings a bell on the door to let us know when he needs to relieve himself outdoors. He knows commands: sit,stay, bed, down, and come. We are still working on training him to heel. He does nip loose clothing +pillows and chases our cats.

His favorite food is cheese and he loves to play fetch and be around people. He does well with other dogs in group sessions at daycare a few times per week.

We are expecting a baby now and, sadly, will not have the time required to care for him. It breaks our heart to rehome him but it is what is best for our family and for the pup.
