PA/OBOE - BRITTANY (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Brittany (medium coat). Hey Everyone, I’m Oboe a super active 2 year old Liver and White male searching for a place to call home Forever! Right now, I’m enjoying the good life in a wonderful foster home here in Northwest PA. I’m up to date on vaccine, neutered, heartworm negative, on prevention, and micro-chipped. I’m mostly housetrained but my foster Mom still keeps an eye on me and takes me out him about every 2 hours just so I don’t forget. I don’t soil my crate, which I’m not a big fan of, as sometimes, I like to squeal in it if I see my foster nearby. However, I am learning to be more patient and my foster Mom is teaching by using the command “enough”. I’m looking for family who is as active as me. A family who might like to go hiking, boating, swimming or are the outdoors type. I don’t tire easily and will need plenty of exercise along with a good size physically fenced yard to play in too. I also LOVE the water! I enjoy splashing in it, taking drinks while I sit in it, I will dive right in or blow bubbles through my nose in it, anything with water! I love going on walks too. My foster Mom says I’m doing fairly well on lead with a firm command to go "easy". I’m also working on basic commands. I’m getting pretty good with ‘come’, but I do need occasional reminders for "wait" (both at doors leading to outside and when exiting my crate). I do well with “off” but “sit” and “leave it” are still a work in progress. I love playing with toys, however toys of cloth are not a good match for me. I do like to shred them into small pieces and have even eaten a few of those pieces. I’m learning “don’t tear it up” with minimal success. I enjoy chew bones, large nylabones and buffalo horns too. My foster Mom says I’m the best at de-stuffing non-squeaky toys as well. I will play fetch, but really don’t like to bring the toy back, instead I much prefer to run off with it. I get along good with other dogs especially younger ones who love to run and play like me. I enjoy chasing bugs, butterflies, and bird in the yard, but I'm not a pointer yet. However, I’m not a fan of cats and it’s recommend my new home also be small dog free. I enjoy people very much and get along great with Women the most. I am VERY timid around men, not in a mean way I just find then scary at times and will run and hide behind my foster Mom. I’m getting better especially with men who are soft spoken, smaller statue and have a higher pitch voice. I have even taken treats from them and let them pet him. However men with larger or deep voice still make me hide and try to get away. I’m good with children but I may knock little one around, so a home with children 8 and above would be best.
