Coal is the most schnauzer like of his litter...confident, sweet, active, needs to warm up to ppl at first, typical schnauzer boldness! He has been introduced to many dogs and has done quite well, very, very playful. Would likely do best in a home with older children or if younger children closely supervised interactions as Schnauzers are Schnauzers! An active to semi active family is ideal as these pups are not couch potatoes! Schnauzer experience a plus, he's going to need a little extra socialization and structure, so he doesn't become a barker nor an overly confident guy. He's going to be a fun dog given the right training and guidance. This little guy is too young yet to be neutered so he will go to his new family as a foster-to-adopt per Montana state code. What this means is that he gets to go home with you but he is co-owned with TRACS until proof of neuter is provided. The code also requires us to hold a monetary deposit ($150) as a guarantee that the critical neuter surgery is completed - this deposit is then refunded. We do include a $50 voucher toward the cost of the neuter. His adoption fee is $400. If interested in this cutie, please head over to our website pet-tracs.com and click on Adoption Application. Once filled in and submitted, our team will review and reach out with next steps, thank you!
