My son picked up a rescued landseer in Tennessee last weekend. His history is as follows: He's one year old; was always kept in a crate or tied to a tree; very skinny, weighs approximately 85 pounds; had to be shaved down because he was so terribly matted.
He was taken to the vet's and he checks out fine and was neutered. He was also put on deworming medication.
His original name was Big Dog but his new name is Nanook (sorry Nessa but the little girls loved the name and there was no talking them out of it).
As you can suspect they are having a few behavior problems with him and hopefully we can get some good advice from the pros.
The minute he saw my son he attached himself to him. On the ride home he kept trying to crawl in his lap. He will NOT leave his side for a minute. Nanook wants to jump on him or the kids constantly. He likes the other members of the family but not like he likes my son. They have a 3 year old newf (Koda) that has welcomed Nanook and they seem to get along just fine. When Koda tries to get near my son Nanook steps in the way to block him. Needless to say this tends to get old. He's also a great counter surfer and steels everything he can snatch as he runs by.
We are very open to any suggestions that you may have.
