Turner - Cocker Spaniel Mix

Hi my name is Turner and my estimated DOB is 08 12 2014. Originally a golden retriever rescue thought I was a golden puppy but then their vet told them I was fully grown at a year old. He then suggested I may be a cocker spaniel mix so that s how I found my way to GCCSR. I weigh about 29 pounds so I m an average cocker size for sure. I was actually adopted quickly into a home with two small children and I ve been there for six months. At first it was obvious I d probably never been in a home with my very own people so my mom and dad worked with a trainer and taught me a lot of great manners. I now walk great on a leash and I know the commands sit and down . I m also working on stay come and leave it and I am fully housetrained. I live with another young dog and we play chase all day long. Even though he s bigger than me I like to be the boss and thankfully he lets me. I do bark when I hear noises outside or when I m ready to come back in from doing my business in the backyard. My absolute favorite thing in the world is to be held in my mom s lap or even my little peoples laps. I love it when they rub my belly and let me rest my head on their shoulders. My mom says I am super affectionate and that I would sit on her lap all day long and snuggle if she d let me. One bad habit I have though is that I started becoming territorial over my food and other items (such as a trash can). Because of this my mom grew concerned that the little people may not be able to determine when I am being playful vs. possessive. They feel like there might be a better home out there for me and for this reason the folks at GCCSR think it d be best for me to be in a home with no children or at least older children. From time to time I ve been known to dig in a trash can and eat whatever I can get my paws on so it s probably best to keep those behind closed doors or out of my reach. I am up to date on all vaccinations heartworm negative and neutered.
