Yondu is a great companion on the trails and loves mountain biking excursions. Knows basic commands sit, down, rollover, fetch and stay. He has his AKC Star Puppy Certificate and is very responsive to commands with great recall instincts.
He was very timid and unsure of strangers when he was adopted by his previous owners. They have done their best to socialize him with doggy daycare and agility classes. He has shown great progress in interactions with other dogs.
Yondu's owners are very sad to have to surrender him due to an incident that took place. Unfortunately, when they were on a hike, their 2yo son fell on while and was crying. They moved to the side of a trail to access the injury and as a hiker was walking by, Yondu bit his ankle. On the bite scale it was on a low end of a 2. Although Yondu has always been great with their son, they felt that they were not willing to take the risk having a dog with a bite history around their 2 year old son.
He is an amazing, loving dog. He just needs a family or owner that can dedicate their time to making sure he feels confident and secure, possibly a family with no kids, or kids much older.
Yondu will be available for adoption immediately to a qualified or experienced owner who knows how to deal with these issues appropriately.
Any inexperienced owners will be required to go through and pay for our training program with Yondu in order to learn how to safely manage his instincts and herding behaviors.
