Possibly a new smoking buddy

This is Gunner. He's a foster pup that's had a fairly unstable life so far. Gunner is two years old and he's a mix of Husky, Malamute, German Shepard, and Wolf(about 18% according to DNA testing). He'll be living with us for a two week trial to see if he likes us and we like him. So far so good. After the two week trial if all goes well Gunner becomes a permanent part of our family. These are some stock photos of Gunner from the humane society. I'll get some shots of him in our backyard soon as things settle down.

Here he is next to one of the humane society workers.

Fingers crossed,

Chris

Oh man he is gorgeous! I hope it works out for you guys. You need someone to guard the beer pole while your minding the kettles on cook day.

Thanks Jim, We're hoping things work out as well. He's actually well behaved considering what we know about his background. Also, I think he already realizes that the beer pole is off limits. Gunner has marked everything that's upright in our yard - except the beer pole.

Cool! Hopefully he slots in nicely. I have two rescues myself.

Looks great Chris! I had a wolf-shepard mix for 13 years, got him at six weeks old, never a problem. He's in good hands! RAY

Thanks Mr. Wipple. All but one of our dogs have been someones castoff, and they've all blended in right well with us.

Good looking pup Chris! Good on ya for trying to rescue him… that is awesome!

We have one too… a Pit Bull/Heeler cross. He had a rough go as well as a bait dog… he’s actually the most mild mannered dog especially for all he went thru!

Thanks Ray. This is our second Wolf mix. Our first one's attitude was more wolf than dog, but he quickly became part of the pack.

Appreciate it Justin. Gunner likes to play a little rough, but you can see the love in his eyes.

That's great!

Someday when the time is right I'll have a dog around again.

Hope he works out Chris, all of the dogs we've had over the years have been rescue's and they turned out to be good dogs, sometimes it takes a little time for them to fully trust you and for you to trust them.

What a sweet looking guy. Nice of you guys to do this , It will be hard to let him go after 2 weeks
I really hope it works out . And for those extra beef bones laying around after a smoke.

except the beer pole.

Or so you think, they can be quick lol

Nice looking cross
Happy you know what you’re getting with a hybrid

Sounds as he’s decided this is home

Thanks Norm, after skidmark past we thought that was it no more pups. Then my daughter called us about Gunner. The video we saw of him changed our minds.

I'm sure he will Jim and thanks. Most of our dogs have been rescues also. Skidmark was found abandoned in a barn as a young pup, Harley was left in a box with his brothers and sisters on a major highway, and the other 4 either came from the humane society or a rescue.

Thanks David. I hope he takes to us as we've already taken to him.

Appreciate it John, We're fully aware of the differences between a regular pooch and a hybrid. One of our past dogs was close to 80% wolf according to his papers. I swear that dog could have lived a good life on his own in the wild. He actually killed a skunk in our yard without getting sprayed. Not to mention the birds he got.

Nice looking pup, looks more than 18% wolf to me, hope it works out and he does not use the beer pole like a fire hydrant...lol

Call me Chris, Chris. I love dogs and can't imagine life without them. Never had a new dog. Watched many a litter born in an old box in the kitchen as a kid, but those got farmed out. Life sucks sometimes but dogs make it better.

Great looking dog. So many people dont spend the time during the first 2 years they need to. Socialization and being a leader is so important during this time frame but not to say it cant still be done. I wish you the best of luck.

 

[Brokenhandle]

Pretty dog for sure! Hope things work out well for you all!

Beautiful animal!
Hope y'all are a match made in heaven.

He's gonna be a handful, high energy and high instinct.
