TRAVIS - ANATOLIAN SHEPHERD / FOXHOUND / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Anatolian Shepherd / Foxhound / Mixed (short coat). Are you looking for a lively personal trainer, a child’s ride-upon horse, fetch master, and a goofball? Look no further: Travis is your man. Travis is an Anatolian Shepherd/Foxhound mix born approx 12/7/23. He hails from Arkansas and is dripping with Southern charm and charisma. He is the father to the eight adorable puppies recently welcomed by Taylor. Travis is playful; he plays like it’s his job! What does he play, you might wonder? Whatever the resident 7, 4, and 2-year-old children are doing. This could be Cabbage Patch, swinging in the hammock, wrestling, zipping through forts/blanket houses, or classic rock dance parties. Leash walking? More like running! It is improving but Travis does pull. He’s just so excited to go fast, seeing and smelling everything. Potty trained? Completely. Kennel-tolerant? Yes, although he prefers if there is a person or two in his vicinity. Vocalization? Rarely does a bark or whimper come from Travis. He has never growled or shown teeth, even when our 2-year-old picked up a handful of kibble from his bowl during meal time. We are “training” the kids that even a lovebug like Travis needs to be left alone during dinner! Socialization? Loves all people and other dogs. Can occasionally whelp pathetically when kenneled, and we leave the house. Our 4-year-old says “when he makes that noise he’s showing you he misses his eight puppies!” Lol. Intelligence? Travis is unbelievably smart and is quite possibly a mind-reader. Additional training on staying down and leash manners are the only areas this near-perfect dog needs to work on. Travis would easily fully integrate into any family with young kids. The adventures he has with little ones are both hilarious and heart-warming. Travis doesn’t want to simply meet you; he wants us to arrange a play date with you. Cheers!
