Jake is a sweet 6yr old GSP that found himself in a small shelter in McCall, ID. He was surrendered due to time constraints and the health of the individual who previously owned him was declining. He is now in foster in Boise, ID.
He has been around and lived harmoniously with other dogs, demonstrating a remarkable ability to adapt to various canine companions. His temperament is friendly and sociable, he does not appreciate being humped or signs of dominance though, and does give dogs a correction. This adaptability is not limited to just dogs; he has also lived with children as young as two years old, showcasing his gentle nature and patience. His experience does not end there, as he has even cohabited with cats, proving his versatility and calm demeanor in diverse living situations.
According to information provided by the shelter, his previous owners mentioned that he exhibited fear towards pheasants and the sound of gunshots. However, it is important to note that while he may have shown apprehension in those specific situations, his prey drive is still present. Interestingly, during his time at the foster home, he appeared unfazed by the sound of a bee-bee gun being fired in the backyard, and wanted to chase/eat one of their chickens, indicating that his reactions may not be as predictable as initially reported. This situation highlights a common challenge in assessing a dog's behavior based solely on owner surrender information, as each dog can react differently in various environments and circumstances. Therefore, it's crucial to approach such reports with a healthy dose of skepticism and an understanding that the true nature of a dog often reveals itself only through direct observation and experience.
