Stanford was bought from a breeder as a puppy (I have those papers) and was with his first owners for about 18 months. During that period, I was informed that he wore a shock collar 24/7 and was not able to bark (he makes such a funny "roooo" noise when he barks now). This is speculation on my part, but I believe that he's so food driven and protective of his food because possible under feeding during that time.
His second owner (the one I am friends with on FB) had him for a little under a year. During this time he was not groomed. He was given a lot of human food which lead to him weighing about 99 lbs when he went into my care. Essentially, he lacked a lot of structure, but was given much love with them.
Since he has been in my care, I feed him daily vitamins for joints, skin health, and the occasional calming one if we take him somewhere like the vet. We take him for regular visits at Brook Run animal clinic. I take him for daily walks on a harness with a variety of leashes. We used to live in Savannah, GA, so I have a short one for city walking, a waist one for jogging, and a retractable one neighborhoods/parks. I've been doing my best to train him to not eat another dog's food, he is now respectful of when another dog is eating around him. I feed him 2.75 cups of Natural balance in a day (split into two meals) and serve it in a slow feeder. I've noticed that sometimes before I pet him that he will occasionally flinch. This doesn't limit any affection that I give him, as he is quick to lean into any touch!
