Daredevil Decker - aka - "Decker" . 8/8/18

Decker has arrived in the house and is doing great in foster care.  A bit skinny, he could benefit from some extra calories but it's not surprising when we get new dogs in that they are on the super lean side.  We'll have him gain a few extra pounds in no time.  He's super food motivated and easily takes treats out of our hands so he'll be looking even more handsome in no time.

He is cat safe and really really sweet.  He's gotten along well with both resident hounds and felines.  At first he did not understand the concept of a dog bed but just today he finally settled on one and hasn't moved since.  I think he likes it!!  His new home should have several comfy beds for him to enjoy his retirement sleeping and lounging in!

Decker is a stunning dog, his light fawn color is almost khaki and really a show stopper.  When he raises those ears straight up he will stop folks in their tracks.  He is curious too so he enjoys meeting people.  He seems really mellow but we've only had him a couple of days but he hasn't shown a wild streak and he's settle in as one of the pack with my lazy pups.

He is really food motivated and would probably excel with some basic obedience skills.  He's a smart boy, catches on quickly and would probably love having to use his brain.

Here are a few photos of our first days with him.
