Tristan 11-319

back to Memorials

Profile

Tristan is an 8 month old, 45 lb golden/lab mix. He is solid black, with the fur of a Lab. He went to the vet yesterday, had puppy shots, received his microchip and is doing great!

Tristan came to us on Tuesday with his sister Emily (11-320). We gave them a bath together and they did great! They were not scared, and LOVED the touch and attention. I got so many kisses J and they haven’t stopped coming!! After their bath they met our resident dogs (12 yr old Shepard- Hunter and 20 month old golden/lab mix - Remi) .

We took them outside to potty and put them in a kennel for the night at 11:00. They slept together without a peep until 9 AM! Kept their kennel dry. Same routine last night. Tristan has not had an accident in the house, so I think he is probably potty trained.

Tristan is very proud, holds his head up high. He watches me very closely and responds well to commands. He will be very easy to train. He likes playing with his sister and our resident Remi – and they do well together. He is not afraid of our older (and much bigger) Hunter. He loves to be held and cuddled. After playtime he lays down next to me on the couch (with Emily 11-320 on the other side of me) or if I am working he sits next to my feet – just so part of him is touching me. I am in LOVE!!

We will let you know more as we get to know him better.

What a lover!  Tristan gives more love than any pup (including my own) but is not a velco dog.  AND he is not a sloppy kisser J.  He does watch me closely and I think will be very easy to train. That being said, I left my resident Remi, Emily 11-320 and Tristan while I ran to Kwik Trip for 10 minutes today and while gone “they” enjoyed my lunch from the counter.  Counter surfers???  After they had a “wonderful” breakfast??  Was it a three way split?  Someone needs to be trained!

We play in the fenced in yard each day – but also go in front and play and run with the neighbor dogs in circles between our two yards a few times a day and get lots of exercise!  He likes the ball – but I have too many pups to see if he can play catch yet.  We had eight dogs (all sizes, ages and breeds) out today and he played very well – is gentle with all, and ran to me for help if he got nervous around the bigger dogs – then joined back in for the fun.  He takes naps next to me during the day, and loves to cuddle.

He has NOT had one accident in the house J.  He doesn’t make a peep in the car – but I think he vomits sometimes.  He rides in the back w/ his sister Emily where I can’t see them too well and I think they are nervous.  I think if he was on my lap – or next to me he would be fine.   He is crated at night w/sister Emily – but doesn’t need to be in his forever home – I have a “jealous” resident that sleeps w/me J

Tristan’s’ desires for his forever home; maybe a bit older kids that he can’t tip over when he gets older/bigger and excited (maybe 7+), doesn’t need to be crated, don’t think he has to have a fence, don’t know about cats, would LOVE to sleep near you (loves to nap on the couch in my arms) he loves having other dogs around as he has been with them all his life – but probably not a necessity.  Most of all – a family with LOTS of love, hugs, kisses and attention to give him every day - forever.  He is a beautiful puppy!
