Dobby is being fostered in MAINE.
Dobby was released to our rescue by his beloved owner who could no longer take care of him. Dobby was much loved and had the best of veterinary care. What Dobby lacked was life outside of an apartment. Moving to Maine, along with living with four other Eskies, has opened his little eyes to how life can be. Being young Dobby has made every pack mistake possible. No blood has been drawn but daily he gets read the riot act from the rest of the adult pack. He has made a friend of my four year old mini female and they love brawling and play fighting all day. I have been working on Dobby's confidence with meeting new people and situations. He is getting more comfortable going in to businesses and greeting people. Dobby is submissive when he is not being a pain in the pantaloons to the other dogs. On occasion when I speak firmly to him he will slightly pee. Dobby is a puppy! Any adopter must be willing to give up blinking as puppies are in to everything and everything goes in the mouth. Leash training is not going well. For only one moving part (the leash) Dobby can tangle himself faster than any other dog I have met. Stairs are another challenge as he takes them, up or down, three or four at a time. Thump, thump, thump. Loud but not pretty to see. The current pictures are a bit old. He has his beautiful adult coat now but after playing hard in the Maine mud and fallen leaves he is not the pristine boy that came here in October.
