Well, this picture does not do Mr. Clyde justice. He is absolutely knock down gorgeous. He is around 18 months, and very high energy. This is the essence of majestic male dog…and the diamond in the rough. He is not yet socialized and will need some training. He will do best in a family who hikes and runs because he is VERY athletic. This is a dog who will be a 10 with some work.

Well, Mr. Clyde has a new name…and a new home… here is a report

Another update on Zevon’s progress…wow. He’s amazing. We love him.
Its only been a couple of days and he sits at the point we taught him
not to go past when there is any activity at the door. He quickly
learned “pass” lets him go over the mark and its time to go for a
walk. He has responded so well to “heal” and still needs occasional
reminding, but the leash has slack on it now and he keeps his shoulder
even with your leg. “Leave” has sunk in even more, no races to dropped
food, he knows what things he can’t touch.

We were on a walk and didn’t see a dead mouse until we were right on
it. He started to look interested but one “leave” and he stepped right
over it and continued to heal. We had one bout with a dominance
display with Arwen yesterday, so we turned the situation into a
training session. As of today, they are playing ball together, he
doesn’t take toys away from her, and they are seeking our attention
together…very good sign. They still need to develop their
relationship, but I think the ground rules are known now and they are
more comfortable. His lack of neutering has not been an issue since we
worked with that yesterday morning…he knows that he has to be mellow
about his interests with Arwen.

We haven’t let the bird interact without bars yet, although he knows
“down” and has ceased to jump on anything, really…he’s such a good
dog. He is usually so tired after his morning session that he sleeps
for about two hours. That has been good. He has mellowed out a lot and
likes quiet family time a lot. I think he’s adjusting very quickly. No
more problems with the doggie door…he uses it freely.

I think I’m going to use our long leash in the yard today and start
working on “Come”. He already knows what it is, but we have used it
casually and sometimes he comes, sometimes not. But he definitely
knows his name now, so its time. What a smart dog. He is just
wonderful and considering his size, I would have not expected it to be
so easy. He’s awesome.
