Age: 5-1/2 months Gender: Male Color: Black/White Weight: 25 lbs. Variety: Bench/Show-bred Brady came to us because his original owner realized that he did not have enough time to devote to an active, young puppy. It seems he was crated all day when the owner was at work for ten hours, and then again at night. Brady is a sweet pup who is anxious to please and give lots of kisses. The owner says that he is housetrained, but he will need to have it reinforced so that when he is out of the crate for long periods of time he will know to wait until he is outside. He loves to play with toys and go for walks. He knows Sit, Down and Stay, and we are working on Drop it. He is active, but after a walk or other exercise he settles down nicely. He is great with other dogs, and should be fine with kids once he learns not to lick them so much. He is such a loveable puppy that I know Brady would bring alot of love and happiness to his new family. Update 13 JUN 07: Though he went to a potential Forever Family, Brady was returned for getting into the pond at the adopter's home. He is back in ESRA's care. The new foster family will update his description when he has been here for a few days for re-evaluation. This dog will only go to a home where it has a fenced yard and someone is home most of the time. Brady deserves a loving family who will devote a lot of time to his needs. Brady has been here for 3 weeks now and I have had over 15 inquiries.I'm still looking for that Special Family he so much deserves. I've learned he is totally housetrained ( never an accident),is OK with cats and since he fell into the pool he wants nothing to do with it. I'm not encourging him to swim. I'll let his new family do that if they wish. He is one sweet little dog with a personality that will melt your heart. Brady still has some puppy antics within but is beyond the chew furniture stage.He will steal your slippers so some things you will have to keep out of his reach. He will be at the ESRA Booth at the DEL MAR FAIR Sat 6/30 from 11:00-4pm .If you want to come by and see him there just stop in and visit Update 27 JUN 07: ATTN POTENTIAL ADOPTERS: Though it is not the norm for ESRA, am requesting that he have another dog as a playmate,a stay at home family member and most definately a fenced yard.I know that this is limiting his potential adopters and the fact that he isn't adopted by now is thru no fault of him just me.
