Story
Leo came to me in November of 2023. He was 4 months old & had never touched grass. He is house trained. He knows how to sit & shake. Leo is extremely high energy. He does not do well with small children. He has bit while playing but still punctured the skin. We do have an older dog &Leo is rough when he plays. Our older dog is able to play rough some times but not a lot. Leo will walk on a chain but needs a pronged collar. He loves the lake & swimming but hates baths. He will thrive with someone that has room for him to run! He seems to do well with women more so than men for some reason, unknown to us. Leo is a Bullweiler & turned 1 year old on July 1st. While we are gone during the day, he is in the crate but most nights, sleeps with us.

Penny

Pointer

Female, Young
Avon, MN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Penny is a sweet and energetic dog. I would still consider her a puppy at 1.5 yrs old. Penny came to us from a previous home where the owner wanted to "get rid of her" if no one took her. Penny is very smart and very treat motivated. She does need some training and time to shape her into the perfect dog. Ideally Penny would be a perfect dog for someone with a lot of space for her to run to release that pent up energy. She would be a perfect hunting dog and is very interested in small animals, so a cat in the house would not be recommended. Penny is crate trained, and can go most of the day without making a mess. She has free range of our garage and has left things a lone so far. She has never been on a leash, but we are working on that and she is learning fast. She just really loves the squirrels and will pull. If you are looking for a hunting buddy or someone to go on an adventure with you, Penny is your girl.
