Gumbo's Story
Gumbo is a 79-pound bundle of pure sweetness, a mix of American Bulldog and German Shorthair Pointer. He's a true triple-threat...handsome, goofy, and athletic! Gumbo is already ahead of the game when it comes to training! He’s a proud graduate of our PAWs to Prison program, where he mastered an incredible 22 commands — everything from “heel” to “go to bed” and even “hide and seek!" Here's what his trainer had to say about him:<br/>Gumbo is a big goofball wrapped up in a very calm and chill exterior. His Pointer side is very evident in his tendency to focus so intently on some thing that it is sometimes hard to get his attention back. He can be like a six-year old kid watching cartoons. He hears you, but is daydreaming about what he is looking at. This loss of focus makes training a task at times, but it will not effect his future as a great pet. And, he is a truly, truly great pet. We worked on his self control quite a bit, and have gotten to the point where we can toss a toy and he will wait to be released to get it. This was huge for him! He LOVES toys! We also have worked on his "Give It" command to hand over toys, but we still have to have a treat in hand at the time. He does eventually give over toys without "fighting", but he likes to hold in to them. Otherwise, he has no other unwanted behaviors. .... No cats. He thinks they're squeaky toys waiting to be squeaked.<br/><br/>Gumbo isn’t just handsome, he's super smart too! Could Gumbo be the missing piece you've been looking for?
