08/13/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Stunning! Just stunning! His gleaming coat of gray and gold cloaks his fabulous physique, his tail wags, he smiles, and his eyes are filled with intelligence and warmth. Likely housetrained he ‘went’ as soon as we were out the door and pulls slightly on the leash as we walk to the park. Off leash in the yard he plays gently with toys, and played tug with me not guarding his prize at all. He sits for a treat, gives me an amazing smile and take the treat with the very edge of his teeth not touching my hand at all. Gentle, calm and such a pleasure to snuggle with, he puts his paws on my lap for some cuddling before running off to check out some dogs in an adjoining pen. In group play he greets well and becomes playful, although doesn’t like to be corrected by another dog. Young, friendly and with a lovely soft energy, Orbit doesn’t want to just circle your world, he wants to find his place in it. He’s looking for a fun and active family who loves to snuggle. Does that describe you? Ask to meet him today.

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Orbit pulls a bit on the leash. He was excited but very interested in interacting with handler during assessment – jumped up. Orbit was excited during some of the handling items, but had soft body language. He was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. Orbit did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. He took the toy and the rawhide with a soft body language. Orbit approaches the helper dog with his tail at spine level, body not stiff, ears relaxed, lip long. Orbit is an active dog he need a significant amount of exercise and mental stimulation.
