Oh, he is getting enrolled in obedience training this afternoon. He has a vet appointment for tomorrow.
Doggie won't be mistreated at all; I completely agree with you about the GS part, that was one of my biggest concerns with him, but he seems to have a great personality so far, and I don't want that to change.
He doesn't have a name yet. We are considering Whiskey Jack, but it's still up in the air- we are wanting to take him to the vet first to see if he might have a microchip in him [you know, if he belongs to someone already].
