Bucket O’ Bulletz

We met Coby today and he was even sweeter than I thought he would be. My son wasn’t even afraid of him. Coby kept sneaking up on him and licking his nose, to which little Taz would make a funny face, grab his nose, and exclaim “He likes me!”.

We spent about an hour with Coby getting his information, the best vet in the area, the best type of food…when would he have to come in again for a booster for rabies… and all that normal stuff you talk about when you are about to get a dog.

He became accustomed to our presence rather quickly, even though he was trying to get the cat LOL He even started to lean on my legs and lay on my shoes. Every time he would get up to see where the cat was, he would come back and sit right between my feet. He is alot like my late Wolfie but much less jumpy. I can’t wait to bring him home.

In the next 2 weeks we will be rearranging a few things in the house and “dog-training” our son so that he will remember to keep small objects out of Coby’s way.

His info from petfinder:
German Shepherd Dog,Corgi Mix

Size: Medium
Age: Young
Gender: Male
ID:

Notes: Coby is kind of laid back (like his ears). He is a German Shepard/Corgi mix who is about a year and a half old and weighs about 60 pounds. Due some unknown heritage, he has a very short tail but it was not cropped. We have been forced to give him up due to a family situation. He is very loving and gives kisses. He walks well on a leash but prefers going for a run. We generally walk by busy streets so he is not skittish around traffic. He gets excited when we pass other people, dogs or bikes but has not been aggressive in these situations. He is very interested in our cat… to the point of stalking her. Although he has cornered her several times, he has never harmed her. He is fabulous with our children (ages 2 and 4). He has been tolerant of them taking things from him and being generally annoying. He loves to be involved in playtime. He is house trained, however, we do keep him in the crate when we are out of the house. When he is left alone, he will find something to chew on. He hasn’t gone for furniture or anything major but many small toys have met their end. He generally obeys the commands “leave-it, sit, and wait”. As long as there is a treat involved, he will go in the crate without any trouble. He enjoys being a part of the family. He is really a sweetheart and loves to be loved.
