PORTER - Courtesy Posting
(ADOPTED!) What a cutie pie! Porter is a 3-4 month old Ridgeback/ Cattle Dog or German Shepherd mix (best guess). Currently, at about 25 lbs., Porter is on the smaller side for being a mixed with Ridgeback. He is very sweet, and social. Porter loves being with people - he is very friendly when meeting new people, likes to give kisses, is very wiggly and loves to snuggle. He travels well in the car and is crate trained. Little Porter is also a big fan of sunbathing!
Porter is very playful and energetic, and likes to play with other dogs. He does exhibit some herding dog behavior when playing with other dogs, and can be a bit bossy and nippy when over stimulated. This pup does, however, listen well and takes correction very well. He will also settle down nicely for quiet time. Porter is SUPER smart! He is working on basic obedience and already knows sit, down, has amazing recall and is starting to work on his stay. He is still learning how to walk nicely on leash, and so far, walks well with a harness. Porter is easily distracted by birds and fast moving objects, but this herding or prey drive can be easily and quickly managed with 'treats!' He is also doing great with his house training and wil "go potty" on command.
Porter will need an experienced home and preferably one that is familiar with herding dogs.
