Baker

Meet Baker! Baker is a 4 year old Collie/Hound mix. He is lovable, smart, and the most handsome boy. Baker is housebroken, although the Christmas tree took some getting use to. He loves being outside and sunbathing. Baker loves his exercise. He loves going on walks (pulls the leash at first, but calms down) and playing in the backyard. He loves to play fetch and plays best with longer squeak toys. He will even play fetch with with a group of people and bring it to everyone to throw it for him! He is trusted to be in the house while his owners are gone as long as there is no food within reach. He loves to indulge himself with yummy treats! Chew toys are a good idea, because if he hasn’t had his exercise or is alone for too long he may get bored. Baker knows the command “sit” (especially to get his food) and knows his name. “Stay” and “come” are works in progress, but progress we have made! He sleeps on either the bed with his humans or a nice comfy dog bed. He is okay on car rides, but shows anxiety through whining for about the first 15 minutes before he calms down and goes to sleep. He does very well with the humans in our family and is our toddler’s favorite dog. He loves our toddler, but does not like to be sat on, pulled, or tugged on. He enjoys cuddling and will sit as close as he can get to you even if the whole rest of the couch is available. He gets along great with our female dog. She is a 5 year old, smaller catahoula/heeler mix. Unfortunately, Baker does not get along with our older, male dog. Outside of the home he is fine with other dogs. He loves playing with the neighbor dogs in the front yard and does well at the dog park. If there is a dog outside or on the other side of a fence, he REALLY wants to say hello and he will voice his excitement! Other than barking to let his humans aware, he is great with other people in the home. Baker really is a great dog and we are heartbroken to re-home him, but we do believe he would do best in a home without a male dog.
