one year old Mountain Cur mix with a wiggly little bobtail and a sweet, affectionate heart, and indoors this 50 pound boy is the definition of a loving companion. He has this adorable habit of curling his whole body into himself when he is feeling happy, and his whole back end wiggles with joy whenever he is excited, which is honestly one of the most charming things you will ever witness.
Hank knows Sit and Shake, is fully housetrained, does well in a crate, and rides nicely in the car. He walks well on a leash with the right collar, loves playing with toys and other dogs, and is always up for a good game of fetch, a bone to chew on, or a belly rub. Inside, he is playful, affectionate, and deeply devoted to his people.
Outside is a different story, and it is an important one for his future family to understand. Once Hank gets outdoors he becomes independent and adventurous, far more interested in chasing birds, squirrels, and scents than checking in with the humans nearby. He is also a determined explorer, so a secure yard or consistent leash walks are essential to keeping him safe. He gets along well with people and dogs, can be a bit rough with cats and is not recommended for homes with livestock he could chase or nip at.
Hank would thrive with a patient family willing to learn his quirks and give him plenty of structured exercise, whether that means committed daily walks and runs in a home without a fence, or a country property with secure containment where he can explore safely. With the right understanding and consistency, this sweet and loyal boy will reward his family with all the love he has to give.
