You've never met a dog like Goose- he is a very "large" dog in a modest 25 lb package. Sir Goose is a busy boy with a busy mouth! He displays Min Pin snout and ears, Boston terrier eyes and size, and a Boxer's butt. Goose needs limits- he must be told what's appropriate to chew, and what isn't. Everyday. Goose needs his kennel- he likes chilling in there with the door open and a blanket draped over the top, and needs to be secured in his kennel at night. Goose loves other dogs, especially larger sized girls. Goose displays dominance without aggression towards other dogs, but will assert himself very forcefully with his mouth when he feels overwhelmed by rough play. Goose's mouth is NOT to be trusted! When Sir Goose goes into The Chew Zone, he loses a bit of his mind that holds him in check and Goatboy comes out. Unlike Sir Goose, Goatboy has no real bite inhibition! At times like this, Goose needs a break with some time and space to himself. He's a very smart, very affectionate dog, but not the greatest cuddler. Goose needs to live with a firm and loving hand to help develop his self-control. He needs real brainwork everyday to stay happy, and would do best in a home with other dogs that can accept his differences. He does very well with submissive dogs but wanna-be alphas already living in a home will have trouble at first with Goose. Intros should be made over the course of days, not hours. Goose needs a variety of things to chew- soft toys are his jam, but don't expect them to last too long. Bones, nylabones, horn and heavy leather toys are all favorites too! Goose is a dog who requires supervision, but he walks lovely on his gentle lead and could live with anyone who understands the importance of limits to him. Goose comes with a MARS trainer to help him settle successfully and transition into his new Forever Home!
