Story
Erik Clapton is ready to steal your heart, serenade your couch, and become the big, lovable best friend you have been waiting for. Erik Clapton, who goes by Erik and already knows his name, is a 3-month-old Beagle/German Shepherd Dog mix with an excellent temperament and an easygoing, affectionate personality. He currently weighs about 20 pounds, but he is expected to grow into a large dog around 75 pounds as an adult. He has short, very soft fur in a handsome mix of white, brown, red, and black, plus the softest ears you will ever want to pet. Erik is a friendly, cuddly, relaxed puppy who is just about as close to perfect as a puppy can be. He loves people, including adults and kids, and is sweet and submissive with everyone he meets. He is equally happy being with people or other dogs, so he can curl up in your lap for snuggles, nap at your feet while you work, or race outside for playtime with a dog friend. In his foster home, he loves playing with his nanny, a 72-pound female German Shepherd Dog, and he does well with both large and small dogs. His behavior around cats is unknown. For a young puppy, Erik is doing wonderfully with training and manners. He does well in his crate, is very quiet when crated, and runs right in to eat his meals there. He is almost housebroken and already understands that potty time happens outside. When the door opens, he runs out to go potty. He may still have an accident or two inside each day, but they are small and easy to clean up. He is also a fairly quiet puppy and only barks when he wants something. Erik is gentle, eager to please, and food motivated, which should make him a fun and rewarding dog to train. He loves to eat, finishes all three of his meals each day, and listens well. When called, he comes running. He does not bite much, and when he does puppy-mouth, he is gentle about it. He also has no signs of trauma or abuse and seems like a happy, well-adjusted little guy. This sweet boy is also an easy companion. He is a great car rider and will lay down and fall asleep in the passenger seat. At night, he will curl up next to you and barely move until morning. During the day, he is content to snooze at your feet while you work at the computer or lay in your lap while you watch TV. He also loves being picked up and carried around, which is adorable now and may become a very funny challenge when he grows into those big-dog paws. Erik is healthy and at his ideal weight. He is already neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, and current on heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick prevention. Erik’s ideal home is one where he will get lots of love, attention, and togetherness. He enjoys going outside, playing with other dogs, and then coming back inside to be close to his people. He will want to be part of your daily life, including bedtime, couch time, work-from-home time, and every little adventure in between. He should fit easily into a home with other dogs, but what he wants most is a family who will love having him nearby. If you are looking for a sweet, soft-eared, cuddly puppy with a wonderful temperament and a heart full of love, Erik Clapton may be your perfect match.
