My name is Mick!

Mick is doing great! He is really a pleasure to have around the house and seems to like everyone he meets, kids and adults alike. His initial excited greeting can be a bit much, but he doesn't jump. This is improving as time goes by. Each morning he greets us with hugs (literally) and kisses. Sleeps all night, usually on his bed in our room, but sometimes chooses the cool floor or my son's bed. Mick definitely loves his tennis ball and playing fetch so he will need a decent sized yard with some grass. He is pretty great at catching the ball mid air. He can do the same with treats! We find he walks better on leash once some of his initial energy is gone. He is most distracted when other dogs are near but it's easy to work on this by maintaining distance on walks and having high value treats on hand. He will need a family who is willing to commit to continuing his leash training. Mick meets some dogs just fine, others, not so much, so no doggy day care or dog parks for him. We have taken him with us to breweries, restaurants and coffee shops and he has done fine with other well behaved dogs around. We think we would be content to be the only dog in the home as he loves his humans but may do fine with another mellow dog. No kitties or small critters, though. He is definitely a chaser! Mick has shown no evidence of resource or food guarding. We've left him alone a few times now with free roam of the house and had no issues with separation anxiety or distructive behavior and he has never had an accident in the house. His teeth are sparkly clean and no more bad doggy breath after some much needed dental work. Mick is healthy, happy and ready to become a great addtion to some lucky family!
