About Echo
Echo is a sweet and gentle loving boy, 3 years of age. He has never met a person he does not love. He is a great house pet, enjoys belly rubs, snuggles and resting his head on your lap. His favorite toy is the tennis ball though he will chew them up in time. Echo knows some basic commands (sit, kennel, and is working on down and stay). Since Echo is recovering from a spinal infection which had caused him some spine and neck pain, he will need extra work on leash walking, as he's been staying indoors most of the time. He is starting to go out for short controlled walks and has exhibited some reactivity to other dogs on walks, so will need some professional training with dog socialization and leash walking. He is still on multiple medications which will be ongoing for a few months, and a follow up checkup is due in mid January to confirm his long term prognosis. As Echo is loving to his people and wishes to please, good training and consistent practice following training should be a success. His best fit home will include a private yard with sufficient fencing/gating (minimum 6 ft tall), experienced large breed dog owners, and a willingness to work through loving discipline to round out his already wonderful self. Older children over 14 in the home would be fine, and he should be the only pet. Echo has not been cat tested yet. He is crate trained.
