Rudy's STATS

There's a lot of information about me on this blog, and I have sure changed over the months. Here's my updated status.
I AM:
Age: approximately 2 years old and a neutered male
Shots: Rabies and Distemper/parvo up to date
Other: on monthly heartworm meds and Frontline plus
Past medical history: was treated for heartworm in 7/09 and is heartworm clear now.
No other known health issues.
Training: knows sit, down, come, and walks on a leash. Has had some clicker training.
Fully house trained. Has never had an accident in the house. Crate trained.
Other dogs: Preferably the only dog in the household. Could be a second dog if owner was
experienced in introducing dogs and behavior management
Other pets: Minimal exposure to cats, although when I have seen them, I have not attempted to
chase them
Children: Minimal exposure to children. Has some difficulty with people/dogs that move
quickly and impulsively.
Weight: 39 lbs.
Shedding: yes
Behavior: Can be a little mouthy like many Tollers, but does not bite. Likes to sit on your lap, get his belly scratched, be petted, lie on the couch, chew bones. He does not know how to fetch and is just learning to play with toys. He responds well to 'No' and is not a dominant dog. He is bouncy and energetic. He will need at least one walk per day. He would be a good dog for obedience training or agility because he likes to please and responds well to a clicker. He has good attention. He'd be happy to be a companion to give and receive attention and love.
Housing requirements: Toller Rescue Inc. requires a fenced in yard or area. He would like a crate. He should not be tied outside or left outside by himself. He prefers to be with people, and he spent most of his life tied out and left to his own devices before he came to Rescue. He has been with Christi for 8 months, has really settled down, and is so ready to be placed in his forever home.
