Hazzard is a two year old shepherd and staffy mix, one of the sweetest and most entertaining pups I’ve ever fostered.
Potty trained, dog and cat friendly, a little rambunctious for toddlers but he would be a great first dog for anyone really. Very curious pup, although a little shy with loud noises. Barely barks and people friendly, and we are still working on not pulling on the leash. He is potty trained and goes straight away. Hazzard loves to play with the resident dogs, but could do fine with just his person.
He is a total cuddle bug and sleeps in the room with us. He will whine if he is separated from others, definitely more of a companion dog.
Hazzard does shed short bristle fur but it cleans up quite easily and he sits like a champ for his nail grinding. He knows basic commands and is quite an intuitive pup. If you talk with your hands like me, you’ll be a great match!
Backstory: Hazzard was part of a litter that was raised in an unfinished basement. There were four brothers and he was easily the friendliest while being cautiously protective of his littermates. The mom had been kept in the garage during pregnancy, and we were told by vets that she must have been exposed to some chemicals because some of the pups were showing slight developmental defects. Hazzards teeth were slightly affected, some of the enamel is gone, and we have to avoid him chewing on hard bones. But otherwise he has no lasting issues from his rough start.
