Max, male Gordon Setter

Meet Max, a beautiful 7 month old puppy. Reluctantly selling as he needs a home with another companion or someone that is at home all of the time. He lives in the house at the moment with three children and is good natured with all of them including a three year old. He is nervous when strangers come in and barks and growls but this is only him giving out! He is already very tall and able to open both internal and external doors! He will make a fabulous pet for the right family and unfortunately we are not able to provide all he needs from one . He is an only dog here and needs the companionship of another. He is very smart, gentle and protective as is the nature of his breed but also determined and stubborn! He has loads of energy outside and would happily sleep on the couch indoors.

Please call if you think you could be the right fit for Max. He is eating hills science plan for puppies and I will provide a sample of his food for the new owner
