Wylie Basset Hound & Australian Shepherd Mix Hopkins, SC

Wylie is a very sweet boy who is currently recovering from his neuter surgery (on 6/24/10) in our office. Wylie absolutely adores people and loves to cuddle. He is good with dogs and is very submissive towards them. He should be great with kids but young, loud and rambuncious children may overwhelm him initially. He has not been completely cat tested but so far he seems very respectful and a touch worried around them. He is crate trained and housebroken once he gets on your schedule. Wylie was used to being a housedog and is really happiest in a house but certainly appreciates the chance to run around in a fenced in yard. Though he is a cuddler, keep in mind that Wylie is still less than a year old and still has a lot of puppy in him. Please make sure he has plenty of toys to chew on or he may find something on his own. At the shelter Wylie is very much a talker. He is not a talker in a home (keep this in mind if you come out to visit him). It may take him a couple of days to lose his talkativeness when you bring him home but he will go back to being quiet.
