Description
Handsome Huntington has known the warmth of a very loving family, but unfortunately a family health issue has forced an unthinkable and very hard decision to do what is best for this stunning, smart, working-line, pure German Shepherd. While having to make the most difficult decision, Hunter's family made the right choice and we have a lot of information on Handsome Huntington to ensure he goes to the perfect family!
Huntington is a well mannered, housebroken, working-line GSD that has some training and knows many commands - he even knows how to “smile” for the vet for a teeth check! Since Huntington is of working-line, he is not for the novice GSD/dog owner and would do best in a household who is experienced with working-line GSD’s. This household will need to know how to provide an environment, structure, balance and the leadership needed for him to thrive.
Handsome Huntington is eager to please and is treat driven, something that will come in handy when reinforcing boundaries, training and teaching new commands. He is well versed in these commands: sit, down, with me, wait, curb, place, break, up, come, Gee (right), Haw (left), around, other side, peek-a-boo and so much more! In addition to his impressive working-line resume, he has lived with two older cats, has been around other dogs and kids, but is particular with who he will interact with - a steadfast trait of working-line GSD.
Huntington will probably need some time and extra treats to decompress. This will give him the chance to fully understand the change in his situation and that his new family will love him just the same, if not more! He is eager to please, but boundaries and training will need to continue in order for him to shine bright and show what a well mannered ‘Handsome Hunter’ can add to the right family. He will thrive in a home and environment where he will be provided the basic necessities associated with a seasoned GSD owner and a family familiar with the working-line breed of the GSD, which includes, but is not limited to ongoing training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.
