Gabe is a sweet, affectionate pup who loves his walks, tasty treats, and cozy naps after a good adventure. He’s a fantastic companion with a calm demeanor around other dogs and enjoys his daily walks, especially when he gets to follow his favorite route. Gabe is easygoing, and his ideal walk is one that lets him take in the sights and smells at his own pace. He’s an energetic boy who’s up for 30-45 minute walks a few times a day, but also knows how to wind down and relax once he's home. His energy might pick up on those walks though, if he sees one of those chase-worthy rabbits! And when he’s home, he loves a good nap. He’s a champ at sleeping!
He is highly food motivated—he’s not picky and will do anything for a treat, including learning new commands like “sit” and “come.” Gabe’s recall is excellent, and he’s always ready to impress when there’s a tasty reward on the line. He’s house-trained and enjoys lounging on furniture but is respectful and doesn’t need to be told to get down. He also loves meeting new people, making him quite the social butterfly!
Though Gabe can sometimes be a bit anxious in the car and is cautious around loud noises (like garbage trucks), he’s an easy-going guy who is happiest when he’s in a calm environment. He’d do best in a home where he can be the only dog, as he loves getting all the attention. Gabe can be a bit of a counter surfer and enjoys shredding any paper left out, so he’ll need a home where he can get plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep him out of trouble. Since he has such a great recall, you might be able to work on training him out of this behaviour.
Gabe would thrive in a calm home without young children, where he can relax and enjoy his favorite activities. If you're looking for a loving and loyal companion who will happily accompany you on walks and is always up for some playtime and snuggles, Gabe might just be the perfect match for you!
