Bishop was found roaming rural Texas as a stray with another dog, Parris 2729. He will travel to Virginia in March/April 2023 and be available for adoption. FOSTER: Bishop is a big, handsome, friendly, confident boy. Smart, brave, affectionate, easy to redirect, food motivated, wants to please. He's a big puppy, probably about a year old, maybe 2. Has the most lovely springy trot like a thoroughbred horse. Would be a great jogging, running partner as he pretty keeps a loose leash (Unless there is a rabbit). Heartworm negative. Rides very well in car tethered, mostly sleeps. Crate trained, house trained. Walks nicely on loose leash, but will hit the end of the leash hard if there is a rabbit, squirrel, or deer. I think fine with large animals; we have met cows and he was mildly interested, but not in a prey kind of way. He's in with my (dog) girls now and it's going well. A tendency to resource guard his person (from other dogs), though not in a hostile way: cutting in between person and other dog etc. (which I am not allowing). Accepts correction from my older female. Knows sit and wait. Working on down. Working on house manners: His head is kitchen table height. :) He is mouthy, and learning not to be, so I would say no small children until he is over that.
