Hunter came to us not knowing any commands, no manners, not-housebroken. He’s about 2-3 years young and 40 lbs. Just a little nugget.

We all know this breed is very intelligent and when I see how fast he learns his commands, I can only come to one conclusion. No one took the time to teach him the important stuff in a dog’s life. Probably little or no socialization. Today, he’s housebroken, crate trained, is learning quite some manners and knows the following commands:
Sit, down, shake paw, high five, come, wait, touch, roll over and giving hugs.

He patiently sits and wait before starting his meals and he’s starting to catch on walking on a leash. Hunter is a TRUE ACD, Super Velcro, medium-high energy, very territorial and protective. He’s also a pleaser. He really wants to be a Good Boy!!! Based on what we have learned, he will need a savvy ACD family/person without children. He becomes pretty dominant/controlling with other dogs, so we would prefer a home without other dogs. He can perfectly entertain himself with different kind of toys. We do believe he could learn how to play the correct way; it’s just something that is really hard for us to focus on with 8 dogs in our home.
