Kipp was the name given to him by the Rescue who took him in. His original name was Ice. He does respond to the name Ice. He was an owner turn-in to Animal Control in the Lambertville area of NJ. Animal Alliance NJ took him and the female in, had them spayed and neutered and updated most of the shots. We reimbursed the Rescue for their costs.
Ice has been heartworm and Lyme tested. He is negative. He LOVES to be brushed. Both he and Snow came to us on, 3/22/08. Ice has lost most of his undercoat more than likely due to the anesthesia from when he was neutered. This is not uncommon. He's a big old sweet boy who needs to learn the rules of the house. He can be somewhat food aggressive with other dogs so should be fed separately. He's very attached to Snow so we are hoping to place them together. He does not seem to be good with cats. We have found out that Ice and Snow were bought to guard livestock but that the owner was denied a variance to have livestock. As far as we know they have only produced one litter of puppies. Ice is better with my cats now that he is used to them, however i'm not confident enough to list him as "good" with cats.
