Story
I adopted Goldfish from the ARL just over a year ago and he has been a challenge. He is about 5 years old. He has done well with obedience training over time and has picked up many skills. He is a bit stubborn though and requires an owner with patience. He does not like to be man handled. He does not like the groomer or his paws being particularly touched but allows me as I have worked with him in gaining trust. He has a strong herding instinct with large groups of people in the home and certain dogs he does not get along well with. He does well with female dogs and submissive males as I have a submissive male in the home that he gets along with well. Unfortunately, he does not fit my busy social life as much as I wanted him to. He loves to roam outside in the backyard and lay out there. I think he would thrive with a large open space. He can be energetic but tires quickly. He loves to be pet and loves his butt scratches.
