Max is a three year old tri-color neutered male ES. He belonged to one owner since he was an 8 week old puppy. He mostly lived outside and liked to go on adventures with his female littermate. She was the likely ringleader in the breakouts from the fence and led the pair on jaunts around the neighborhood. Because of his love of escaping he’ll need a home with a secure yard and 6 foot + no climb fencing. Max is a pretty low key guy who is happy outside or inside. He does not seem to have a significant drive to hunt and seems to prefer sunbathing in the yard and curling up on the sofa.
Max is in a foster home with other Setter boys and gets along well with them. He has also met a much smaller female dog that he likes and once he got over his incredulity at his size, he also likes a very large Bernese mix. Max has not been tested with cats, but does not seem to have a massive prey drive.
Max is a bit of a resource guarder with his people and while he is getting attention curled up on the sofa, he warns other dogs to stay away. He does not seem to do this outside or when he is in his crate. He is fed in his crate so there is no conflict with his foster siblings. Max is not a big barker but he does like to get up and go outside in the morning, then come in for breakfast soon after. He will bark in his crate until he gets what he wants in the mornings. He likes his routines.
Max is fairly gentle on leash though he gets most of his exercise in the backyard with foster siblings, not on regular walks. He would enjoy regular walks with his person. He also loves to ride in the car and jumps right in and settles in for the ride.
Max is working on his house training and is not 100% on providing cues to go outside yet but he’s working on it. The yard at his foster home has a 6 foot stockade fence and he has never tried to dig or climb out.
Max is on the small side even for a field setter and currently weighs 42 pounds. He has a very sweet and gentle nature and is loved by anyone that meets him. He is up to date on all vaccinations and is microchipped. Max is in a foster home in OKC, Ok.
