1/3/17  Ranger is a recently neutered 5-year old male. He is very alert, highly intelligent, enthusiastic, and extremely eager to please.  He knows several basic commands and learns quickly. Ranger is nicely socialized. He is good with kids, dogs, and horses; cats are an unknown although he tends to ignore them on the street. Ranger does not appear to have an aggressive bone in his body, has no “resource guarding” instincts, and only barks discriminately at suspect intruders.  Ranger has a lot of energy but walks well on his leash with his choke collar. He enjoys car rides and likes to travel. Ranger is crate trained, but is fully house broken and can easily be trusted alone in the home; he knows what is his and what is not.  Ranger has been weaned off “people food”; he now eats regularly and well and does not annoy others when food is present.  Ranger is good at indicating legitimate needs such as when it’s time to go out.  He is a very sweet dog who enjoys affection, but does not demand it. He is playful, but respectful of his surroundings and play fellows.  He is sensitive to, and capable of developing a strong bond with, his masters.
