Overstimulated by the noise, he reacted defensively when a child he<br/>didn't know entered the room to use the restroom, resulting in a bite. The child is okay,<br/>but we’ve realized our high-traffic home (hosting weekly community groups and frequent<br/>friends and family travelers) is no longer the safe environment <br/><br/>Deets needs.<br/>● His Pattern: He is 100% trustworthy with the children in his "inner circle" (our four boys<br/>play rough with him daily without issue). His reactivity is strictly limited to strangers<br/>entering his "territory" or confined spaces with unknown people. The Ideal New Home<br/>We want Deets to be successful, so we are looking for:<br/>● A "Low-Traffic" Household: A home that doesn't have frequent "revolving door" visitors<br/>or large parties.<br/>● Space to Run: Preferably a spot with some land or an active owner who can take him<br/>on daily adventures.<br/>● Knowledgeable Owners: Someone familiar with herding breeds who understands that<br/>"stranger danger" is a trait to be managed, not a character flaw.<br/>● No Small/Unknown Children: While he is great with his "own" kids, he should not be in<br/>a position where he is confined with children he doesn't know.<br/><br/>The Transition<br/>We love this dog deeply and want to help him acclimate. We are looking for an adopter willing<br/>to:<br/>1. Meet multiple times so he can recognize you before the move.<br/><br/>2. A "Transition Period" to ensure the fit is good for both you and Deets.<br/><br/>3. Ongoing Support: We are happy to stay in touch and help in any way possible to make<br/>this a win for everyone including dog sitting when needed.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a hiking partner who will guard your heart and never leave your side,<br/>Deets is your boy.<br/><br/>If your interested please contact Nic Othart, 661-342-3393, Bend, Oregon<br/>Othart@gmail.com
