[quote=Anonymous]We rescued a 2yo GSP and he was seriously the best dog ever. High energy for sure, and would spend most of the day outside running around and tracking birds (we live in a rural area on a large property). He would track and snap at carpenter bees and then they would fall to the ground, where he would slap them with his paws and guard them, which was hilarious to watch. We didn't find that he needed a lot of walking or running with us, since he had a couple of acres to run free and he had another dog to play with (which he did, constantly), but he would have been great at hunting or agility. Once he was done hunting for the day, he was a snugglebug - just wanted to cuddle up next to you on the couch. Incredibly intelligent dog with soulful eyes - he rarely barked or made noises, but was always sort of quivering with energy during the day. He was very patient with my kids, who were a toddler and a baby when we got him, he would even let them dress him up. The family who fostered him had kids so he was used to them before we got him. He chewed the furniture a little when he first came to us, but we chalked it up to stress from being in a new place, and it was only for a month or so and we had to keep him in the laundry room where his crate was until he was more relaxed. Unfortunately, he developed anal cancer (carcinoma) which apparently can run in this breed, so we lost him at age 9. Of all the dogs I've lost, I miss him the most.  [/quote]
