Story
Chief
-Located: Tampa, FL
-Rescue Dog? Yes. I found Chief dumped & extremely underweight.
-Breed: Pitt Bull / Bully Mix
-Age: 18-24 months
-Gender: Male (neutered)
- Why is this dog a performance prospect? Chief is a high energy boy who absolutely loves running, climbing, jumping, fetch, and tug. Haven’t tried many sports besides bike jouring and a few mini bite work sessions. Chief would love agility, dock diving, fast cat, fly ball, etc. He will do anything his person wants to do, he is extremely versatile.
- Who evaluated the dog? I did.
- What is the experience of the evaluator? I’ve been training dogs and working with rescues for 20+ years.
-Strengths: He’s a once in a lifetime dog. He really has so many strengths it’s hard to list them all. He’s very versatile, nice coat with beautiful markings, he’s a great play partner, very stable, biddable, high food drive, medium toy drive, doesn’t tire out, a total goof ball, loves everyone and everything. Ignores dog savvy cats. Likes kids and other dogs. Environmentally a very sound dog, nothing spooks this boy and he doesn’t react to anything!
-Weaknesses: He needs knowledgeabl handler. He will pull on lead, so continued training is a must. He is also a big time counter surfer, so don’t trust him with leaving food out (he will take advantage). Does not ride good in the car unless he’s in a crate, he doesn’t mind it, but moves constantly and will try to jump in your lap while driving and bark at passing cars (crate eliminates all of those issues).
-Other Info: would make someone a great entry level sports dog and has a lot of potential for a variety of sports. All around good boy. Loves to snuggle and is quite the singer. Whether that’s a pro or con I guess depends on if you think it’s cute or not . He can make all sorts of sounds that sound nothing like a dog!
