Hunter came into our center as an owner surrender on 6/11/2016. It is reported he has lived with one adult and one teenager, enjoys petting at times but mostly keeps to himself. Hunter would sniff a visiting 6 year old family member, but would growl if child attempted to pet him. Owner reports Hunter will growl if approached while eating. Hunter is reportedly restricted to one area of the home when left alone because he will mark areas in the home. Owner states Hunter is fearful of moving mops, will bark and run to his corner. Hunter was a bit difficult to take out of kennel, growling and staying towards the back, but once on leash he softened and walked well. He allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands during Look item, relaxed and neutral. He lip licked during positioning for Sensitivity item, once positioned he accepted the touch, head a bit low, mouth closed. Hunter initially followed at end of leash for Tag game, but became very playful towards end of game, jumping and dancing around. He did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts. Hunter engaged with Toy, took it away, body not stiff. When off leash with other dogs, Hunter mostly keeps to himself. The Behavior Team feels Hunter would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have children. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2.
