RANGER

Ranger is about 2-yrs old, tail docked, dews off, 56-lbs of sweetness. He was a stray who was never claimed from an ID shelter. He is a deep red color and has a beautiful coat and velvet ears. He appears to like all humans equally, we do not have children but his temper seems suited to children but we would not place him with toddlers due to his unknown history. He is house trained, crate trained, and a snuggle and sleeping under covers pro. He loves to lay with, or on you, and sits in your lap. Ranger has been allowed on furniture and sleeps in the bed. He rides well in the car, loves to play fetch with tennis balls, and sticks. He likes to chew but is not avid. He is in foster care with two other males and does great. He would like another dog to play with that has lots of energy and wants to play tag, wrestle and roll, and keep away. He does not appear to be a fence jumper or escape risk but we do not leave dogs in the yard unattended. He spent a couple of nights in Idaho with a cat in the house and appears to be manageable with cats but might take some additional work depending on the cats. Ranger will not win any conformation titles and his front feet turn out to the side and he stands rather "knock knee". Our vet has evaluated him and he has full range of motion so we don't feel this hinders him in anyway... although he will need to stay trim and would probably not make the best long distance running partner but a more devoted dog you will not find.

Oct 2004: Ranger had a very busy weekend. He caught a ride with Daryl from Salt Lake to Boise, went to a dog walk with Penny & Frank and then another car ride and then to a BBQ. On Sunday he jumped in the car again and made the trek up to OR to meet his new family. In true goof ball Vizsla style he managed to push the barrier in the back of the car out of the way so that he could curl up with humans and snore on the ride home in the back seat. He settled down well in his crate after a romp in the yard and tour of the house. Ty will show him the ropes and what corners he can cut -- as long as she gets her favorite spot on the bed with mom. Take good care of our sweet, goofy man, who loves to get in your lap and sleep wrapped up in your arms. We miss ya, ya big dumb bunny with the silly feet :)
