GUNNER IS LOCATED IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA.

 

This handsome Cane Corso Mastiff hunk of a pup is Gunner.  He's approximately 5 months old and is already c rate trained and housetrained! What else does Gunner have to offer?

• He's good with children AND dogs! (Proper introductions always required.)
• He desperately wants to play. He's still a puppy...energy outings and playtime are VERY important.  A fenced in yard and a playmate would help him be a well rounded pup.
• He's working on his l eash manners and has been improving since working with a slip lead training leash.  Again, he's still young and obviously smart, so he's ready to learn!
• Gunner knows sit, down and is working on his stay position. He’s very food motivated which is helpful for training!
• Did we mention his handsome face and adorableness?

​Challenges?  Not many.  He's still learning not to jump...typical puppy behavior.  He'll need someone to continue his training to help him become the best pup he can be. 

Gunner is ready to start the new year with a new family.  He'll be the goodest boy he can be, with your help!  He'd love a K9 brother or sister to play with and humans to adore.  Are you ready to ring in the new year with Gunner?!?
