Walker:
I've only been fostering Walker for a few days. He is a terrific little dog that fits in well with my other dogs. Walker is gentle and well-behaved. He is hungry for attention, and will jump all over me if given the chance. But he is still a submissive dog who listens well. Walker rides nicely in the car and is not destructive. He pulls when on leash, but isn't crazy or excessive. I've walked him on the trails near home; he doesn't seem to know directional commands, but he tries to please. Walker has a very steady trot and is stronger than he looks. He is quite socialized and enjoys meeting people and dogs. He is not bothered by activity around him. I think he'd be an ideal skijor dog.

Blair/Loki:
We also have another new shelter dog, Blair (new name Loki). Loki is a Husky/Pointer mix. He can be destructive if left unsupervised. Loki is sweet with our other dogs. He seems terrified to leave our yard. I've tried walking him on the trails, on the street, and with another dog, but he'll balk. Loki needs a lot of patience, and needs to build confidence.
