Story
WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING ANY NEW APPLICATIONS FOR TUCKER. IF YOU APPLIED FOR TUCKER, YOU WILL BE CONTACTED ABOUT NEXT STEPS.
Hi I am Tucker! Let’s just talk about the elephant in the room right away, check out my amazing derriere! That’s right, I am a proud lifelong member of the all-natural tail club, woop woop! And its thick, long, and powerful. I am ½ GSP, ¼ labrador retriever, and ¼ unknown hound, and absolutely, positively, undeniably 100% AMAZING! Make no mistake, I am the triple threat of three excellent dog breeds! My foster mom says I am the total package and am her favorite of any fosters or pet sitting doggos she has ever cared for.
I am beyond brilliant! I get my beautiful, good looks from my GSP genes. My coat is more on the labby side of hair, especially the white, where my liver hair is characteristic of GSP, resulting in me being a medium shedder. Also true to the GSP traits, I love hard and am well above the Velcro rating of loyalty to my chosen one. I do not like to be without my person. Therefore, another dog in the household or those that are home most of the time would be a better fit for me. I am the sweetest, gentlest, goofiest, giant love bug who acts well more polished and mature than a 20-month old puppy.
I am not the typical GSP crazy. I do enjoy a game of fetch with any toy, tug toys, and chase games with my other household dogs. I do enjoy nose work and daily walks, but I have a pretty quick off switch, as I am laid back. I have not had any accidents in my foster home, have not destroyed anything, nor gotten into any mischief. Amazingly, I
do not mark either, as I arrived unfixed.
I get along swimmingly with other dogs, was cat friendly; kid savvy in my old life, love all people, but CANNOT be around poultry, as my foster mom’s experiment of introducing me to birds led to a chicken with a docked tail, I call it my version of a German shorthaired chicken. I am very birdy. I have so much potential to be a hunting machine, but I definitely would prefer loving up on you and giving you my sweet kisses on your lips.
You will, in return, have to give up on any personal boundaries on Day 1. I am the most intuitive empath you will ever find, have top notch recall skills, and know most commands. I am leash trained, house trained, e-collar trained, ride like a champion in the car, and crate trained.
Oopsies, here is where I will admit, I don’t love the crate, especially for sleeping arrangements. If you do not let me sleep close to you, I will serenade you the entire night long with my big ole hound voice (this is where the ¼ hound comes in). I can also get vocal if you do not throw my toy either. But beyond that, I am not vocal.
Those of you that are lab lovers who want to try a GSP out for the first time, take me! For fellow natural tail club members, choose me! If you are looking for someone to love your kiddos as a great family dog, pick me! If you want me to be your companion, apply for me! If you need someone to protect you and your loved ones, how about me! If you want a stress-free perfect addition right from the start, LOVE ME! - - Tucker.
