Clifford is a 1 year old red male born on June 17, 2019. His sire is XKT Dave Turin and his dam is Desert Eagle. Clifford came to GALT with the rest of his litter - Amanda, Aaron, Neo, Lydia and Emmitt. The litter was never registered and put up for adoption through GALT. Clifford will begin his medical evaluation soon and will be tested for cat and small animal tolerance soon..
Clifford has lovely cognac-colored eyes and a dark muzzle and ears. Because of his unique eyebrows, his nickname is “Clifford Has Concerns”. His brows make him look as if he is considering the weighty questions of the ages. At just a little over a year old, you would think Clifford would be a handful of puppy craziness. Instead, he’s an easy-going love muffin who will stop at nothing to get a gentle neck rub or a few minutes of leaning time against your legs. Clifford’s sweet personality allows him to fit in with my mixed pack, including two little ones.
Clifford has learned that the crate is a happy place. He is fed in the crate and waits patiently for me to let him out. He mastered the dog door and has good house manners and we are working on his extracurricular habit of surfing for food. He is interested in the trashcan in my office where the occasional yogurt cup is thrown out; we’re working on what’s appropriate and what’s not.
He walks well on a leash and the car he likes to stand in and watch the world pass. When he gets bored with the scenery, he lies down to nap. He is a model citizen in the house and displays no anxiety when I leave.
His most charming traits: The way he asks for affection by jamming his head under arms, between thighs, or just against your hip if that is all that is available. Another is the way he so sweetly mouth-breathes when asleep. Watch out for this if you work at home like me! That sound of peace and contentment will make you want a nap, too!
Clifford would be best suited to an adopter who is looking for a peaceful, laid-back dog. He would be a great addition to a family that has a dog or a pack already, especially one that has small dogs and non-greyhounds. Clifford is an affectionate and easy-going fella who has the calendar age of a baby and the temperament of an older dog.
