Likes: play! cuddle, attention (any kind), food, sleeping with his nose buried in our armpit, military music (especially the trumpet) Pet-Peeves: strangers, getting wet (although he's learning to appreciate the occasional swim!), the doorbell, thunder Favorite Toy: his blue rubber ring (hence 'Ringmaster P'), chasing flies, pink rubber duck Favorite Food: any, even strawberries and oranges Favorite Walk: the beach, the woods, big open fields with not to many other dogs or people, very high grass to run through Best Tricks: forcing me to play with him by hooking his rubber ring around my foot or wrist, and then start playing "by himself"; sitting up for a piece of food in any store (even a hardware store; you never know!) Arrival Story: he was on an internet site, which helps people finding a new home for their pet; he had to leave his previous owners because they had a baby and he's not a big fan of children... we fell in love with his picture, he fell in love with us (although he generally doesn't like strangers!). Bio: part beagle, part friese stabij, part labrador: he's stubborn and sometimes disobedient (although he ultimately knows who's the boss), very intelligent (he can search for ten different toys by name, and knows how to pee, shake, play, be nice or look for other dogs on command), he loves to hunt and chase (although he never apports), and he's loyal and kind to everyone he knows (strangers are a different story) The Groups I'm In: Amsterdam I've Been On Dogster Since:
