Dexter

Dexter is the Golden of the bonded pair. He is very sweet and affectionate, what we all love about Goldens. He would prefer to be petted all day long and will stare right into your eyes. If not being paid attention to, he will lie on the floor or cozy up to his sister on the same dog bed. He is potty trained and will sleep in his crate all night long, 8 hours, without any accidents. He is very fun and wants to play fetch as long as you want to play. As does his sister. A yard would be ideal for fetch and for him to tussle with his sister in. He also likes to gnaw on chews toys and bones. He is food motivated so training is productive. He walks on a leash without too much pulling even though he doesn’t seem to have done much leash walking. Dexter is being fostered with Allie in San Ramon.
