Rocky - TN

Meet Rocky! He is a 3 year old gsp weighing about 50 pounds and has been neutered. He is a sweet snuggly boy with a lot of energy who loves his people. He is also loves to talk when he’s excited or is trying to tell you what he wants.
Since he has lots of energy, he loves being outside whenever he can so a fenced in backyard or having a large property to run on would be best. His favorite thing is to chase a disc golf frisbee and play fetch with it. Car rides make him very happy but don’t roll the window down too far or he might jump out. He loves to swim and take baths but he is afraid of the water hose. He can get startled from sudden noises but not fireworks, he loves to go outside and watch them. When he’s ready to settle down at the end of the day he loves to snuggle on the couch with you and a blanket. He has free roam of the house and does great when left alone. He is always very happy to see his people return home and has the wiggle butts with all his excitement. 
He has a high prey drive, especially loves chasing birds. He has not been tried as a hunting dog, but I believe he could do it if the right person came along and wanted to train him. 
Rocky has been to a board and train so he knows several commands such as sit, stay, down, heel, place, come, leave it, and can walk nicely on a leash. 
Rocky is a resource guarder, mostly of his food, bones, sometimes his space, and socks that he loves to steal. He will hand feed/scatter feed with no problems. He is reactive to strangers and other dogs. He has lived with his gsp brother most of his life but this may be where his resource guarding came from. He has also been around small children but gets excited/zoomies and does not know that he needs to be gentle. This is why we think it would be best for him to be in a home where he can be the only dog and no children. 
If you are interested in adopting rocky and would like to know more about him,  please reach out to hreskola@gmail.com.  Rocky has a rehoming fee of $200.
