Chow Chow / German Shepherd Dog Mix
Hi! My name is Junior and I am a 4 month old Lab/Chow mix and came to AFH with my siblings. I am an energetic boy that loves to play. I am a bit shy when I'm around strangers, but open right up when I'm with my family. My foster mom is making sure to socialize me so that I can learn that I can be myself around strangers as well. I am good with dogs, but again tend to play Mr. Shy-man around them until I get to know them better. I appear to be pretty good with cats, however when I get over zealous I do forget my manners sometimes. The cats are quick to show their claws and my foster is quick to redirect me. What can I say, I'm still a puppy.
I am crate trained and such a good boy in the crate. Once I became used to my foster mom's schedule I now run into the crate all by myself. It also helps when she throws a treat in there. I sleep all through the night and once I hear my foster moms alarm I am up and ready to go. I like to play at potty time so my house training is slow in coming. When I first came to my foster mom I had no idea what a leash was, but my foster mom has been working with me and encouraging me a lot. It's alot easier now. I am very much a puppy and would make a great family dog with an energetic family who can take me on long walks, and be willing to play with me. Feel free to email my foster mom or come to meet me at our adoption events.
