"R.P."
"R.P." is one of our most loved pets, and goes almost everywhere with us.
He absolutely LOVES the car, and of course the RV.
He sired two outcross litters for our AHT outcross program, and was then neutered and retired from breeding.
He's a favorite of all our friends when we go to dog shows, as he's always such a "meeter and greeter", ;)
He's Mike's favorite, and has made such a place in our hearts, that he'll always be with us, as everybody who has met us, and him knows.
He's only got one fault, and the only thing we'd change about him if we could, would be to make him a "stay at home" boy.
He was an adult, and had already learned to be a "runaway", before he came to live with us.
He had learned that if he could get away, he could stay gone as long as he liked, and he just loves to explore!
He'd climb a fence, or, if he was off leash, (we take our dogs for walks in our pasture and woods) and could get far enough away from us, he'd just plain not come back when we called (selective hearing) :(
Needless to say, even tho we live in the country, it's still very dangerous for a dog to be loose, and we don't permit it.
We hoped his neuter would help, but it didn't make a bit of difference.
He can't seem to help it, he simply MUST go see what's over the hill
After a few scarey runaway episodes, we made up our minds, that when he was outside, (since he is such an accomplished fence climber) he'd either have to be onleash with us, or he'd have to be fastened to a cable line suspended between the two oak trees in the front yard.
This is most definately not what we'd prefer, but we have to do it to keep him safe.
Other than that one scary thing, he's just about perfect! |
