My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Chex is a complicated case. In terms of my relationship with him, he’s one of the sweetest most eager to please dogs I’ve ever owned. He is fiercely loyal. He is a huge snuggle bug and loves to hang out with his owner. He is house broken and does well on leash.

Chex is very very protective of his house/property. He does not like people he does not know coming into his house. He will bark aggressively when the mailbox or package delivery comes to the door. Chex is fine around other dogs so long as there is no competition for toys/treats.

Finally, Chex has bit 2 people in the past 2 months. One person came in the house unannounced, the other person was having a snack near him and he bit her arm unprovoked. He has not had any formal aggression training. These concerns should be carefully considered when adopting Chex. He should be supervised at all times around children or unfamiliar adults. He’ll do best with a patient owner on a farm/large property with very few visitors.
