case in point... gordy.
gordy is some kind of mutt. is less than 2 years old and has lived out side unleashed for most of it.
from the first time i walked the 5 plus acres of land i live on now, this dog has guided me, nipped at my heels or just plain sat and barked at me if HE thought i was going the wrong way in the woods. when i walk down the road, he stays less than 3 feet from me. in tall grass he is first and very methodic in his steps. he has no training from me or his previous owners. i have just started to let him in the house over night, he is a good guard dog and stays off the bedand couch, plays nice with the little the one and the other dogs and does not pee in the house. if he needs to go outside, he is a face-licker if i am asleep, or he sits by the door and whines if we are up. he is by far the best dog i have known in a very long time.
gordy will be with me for many years i hope. and i dont have to teach him anything! (happy dance!)
plus he likes beer!
