What's a 7(ish) year-old gentleman do when his person passes away and he is suddenly separated from her and his 11 canine siblings? Well, close down a bit at first, of course. But Cheddar seems to be pretty resilient and willing to embrace a new world, provided the introductions are gradual. This 16 lb. fellow is low-key, quiet, and very well behaved, but he's hand-shy and slow to trust. He'll accept new canine family members a bit quicker than human ones, so patience and understanding are required. His house-training and other house manners have been very good, and he's making steady progress on leash walking. Napping on the couch or in a shady spot in the yard is a favorite activity, and he will occasionally entertain himself with a soft squeakie toy. You can see the potential that this handsome dude has when you look at the photos and videos in his online photo album at http://www.ImageEvent.com/beales/fosters/cheddar .
