Chevy is a handsome white German shepherd and yellow lab mix who loves people. For an 8-9 month old puppy who is still growing and learning to appreciate the comforts of a loving indoor home, as long as you walk him 1-2 times a day, he is surprisingly mellow inside the house and takes a long morning and afternoon nap. He loves to cuddle and loves belly rubs if you're offering but will otherwise just follow you around and typically lay at your feet or close by. His favorite thing to chew is antlers but err on the side of caution and keep your shoes in the closet until he outgrows being a puppy! He loves to play fetch; squeaky tennis balls thrown with the "Chuckit!" ball launcher might be his favorite. He is a quick and eager learner; he heels when walking, sits when you stop (while walking), responds correctly to "sit", "down", "paw" and has been taught to stay in a "down" position beside the stairs (in sight but approx 10 ft away) when we meet anyone at the door. He is house trained and sleeps quietly through the night until you wake up. He has quickly deduced that food comes from the kitchen but will wait patiently outside the kitchen if you are in there and does not beg for food. He likes car rides. He is slowly getting better with separation anxiety but for the moment, while he is happy to be in his crate while anyone is home, he prefers to be a puppy-proof room when he's alone. While Chevy warms up to people almost instantly and gently seeks them out (sometimes slightly leaning in to them for a pet but never charging, jumping up or licking anyone), he does not seek out the attention of small children and can be uneasy around them. The perfect home for Chevy would have owners that like to walk/run/hike at least once a day, love to play fetch, love a constant companion/shadow whether they are inside or working in the yard and are home more often than not.
