His name is Dashiell, I’ve had him for 2 weeks. He’s a two year-old Alaskan husky German Shepherd mix. He’s extremely playful and energetic. He shown absolutely no sign of aggression at all That includes resource guard and grabbing toys. He’s really good with unfamiliar people, extremely playful and excited. He’s fully vaccinated and neutered. We’ve completed almost a whole beginners course of PetSmart training before I got the unfortunate news. He knows the basic commands of ‘sit’ and ‘stay’ as well as ‘come’. He has a lot of energy and like to talk.
