Connecticut Sherman English Setter Mix Nashville, TN

Say hello to Connecticut Sherman! He is a 45 pound, 4-year old English Setter mix.

Sherman is such a handsome boy! He is great with women and young teenagers on up. He is wary around some men and can be selective when it comes to his doggy friends, but once he trusts, he will be yours forever more! Sherman also needs to go to a no-kitty home.

Now the extra good stuff! Sherman is an incredibly smart and playful medium energy boy. He he loves his person once he trusts them. In just a short time with his foster, he learned sit, stay, shake, down and gets his leash when asked! He is completely house trained, crate trained and also completely trustworthy in the house.

We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for: 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive. All Dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
