Sailor has come a long ways since his bout with the food change right after we brought him home. He is around 85 pounds, 29 inches at his shoulder and just over 5 feet long from nose to tail. I think he's becoming a fine young gentleman.
His coat continues to astound me. He is black, white, brown, grey and some red. What his final color will be when he grows up I can't wait to see. He has been through puppy socialization class and is presently getting his Good Citizenship training from an AKC trainer in Sturgeon Bay, WI. He has been to my wife's school and into several classes with her introducing the breed along with the book "Sailor - The Hangashore Dog." A very loveable story about the gentle bravery of this breed.
He is great with kids and other dogs. He loves to torture the cat by nudging the cat with his nose until the cat growls, hisses and runs away. Snow is king to this boy! If he could stay outside all the time during the day, he would. But at night, there are awful scarey things out there in the woods!
He visited my folks' farm recently and spent time with their Angora goats, Babydoll sheep and their miniature silky goats. He liked the latter the best because they were smaller and less intimidating.
All in all, Sailor is loved and fits into our lives so well. He is just about perfect.
