Health Issue(s)

Periodically shows sensitivity to left hip.
Takes Glucosamine on a daily basis (lubricates joints).

Temperament

Fun, active boy who loves to run and exert his energy.
He especially loves anything that involves water, playing ball, or catching sticks.
Loves to snuggle and is very loyal to his human once he trusts you.
Highly motivated by training and enjoys learning new tricks. He is also great on the treadmill.
No food or toy guarding tendencies.
Has some body sensitivities, but will let you know when he is uncomfortable.
If uncomfortable, he will show you by moving away and disconnecting.
Has very sensitive feet, although he is learning to tolerate it, does not like getting his nails trimmed.
Best walked with a Haltie. Heels well, but can occasionally be reactive to other dogs.

Owner Suitability

Active couple would be ideal for Harley.
No young kids (due to his sensitivities).
Would be best as a solo dog, or with a female dog.
Can play rough with a dog whose energy matches his own.
Fenced yard is a must.
Positive reinforcement training is the way to go with this dog. He does not do well with a person who forces him to do anything.
He needs someone to nurture him and teach him.
Someone with a cottage would be right up Harley’s alley. Harley would be a great dock dog.
