Wheat Thins is a just the sweetest GSD mix puppy who is looking for his forever BFF! He is super loyal at a young age and is all about cuddling, chomping, tug, chasing balls and exploring. This young man is quite the goofball that is all about playing, typical young boy things!
If Wheat Thins was a human, he would be a baseball coach, as needs to ensure everyone is on-track to win the game. He does have some prey drive in that body of his and loves to chase things! When he is awake, he is a go-getter that always is on the move looking for things to do and adventuring. His foster says that when he and his littermates are playing, he is usually in the middle of the dogpile! He is starting to socialize more and more, sometimes he can be shy to new people but warms up rather quickly.
Wheat Thins loves car rides, he usually just watches the world zoom by his window or takes a solid nap. At the vet’s office everything was a bit big, and scary but he handled it like a champ. There is nothing better for him than playing with toys and splashing around in the foster kid pool, it is the best! He is highly motivated by toys, food, praise, and play. Everything is new to him so he is a blank slate so to say, experiences will form him into whatever kind of dog you want him to be as an adult.
During Wheat Thins time in foster he has begun learning crate training, potty training, and wearing a collar. He is doing great with those and will soon be walking on a leash as he is a quick learner! While he is very playful, he also has an off switch after he is tired out, and he loves to cuddle before it is playtime again. While he does need some redirection from time to time since his puppy brain thinks that everything should be chewed on, it is easy to redirect him with a toy. Additionally, he has been introduced to the marker word “yes” before food and toy rewards during training and he has started clicker training as well. He can be quite the vocal little fella when he wants something very specific. #SirBarksALots
Wheat Thins is looking for this forever home that is looking to add an active puppy into the mix. We think that he could do well in most dog sports and his prey drive may be channeled into a fun game. He also could make a great hiking, running, adventuring, camping friend as well. So, if you are looking for a puppy that wants a forever BFF, look no further than Wheat Thins!!
