GRISSOM (was TANK)

Tank was born 11/8/05, tail docked too short, dews off. Tank was well loved by his former family but too much dog for a family with 3 small children. He is 24 inches tall, 55 lbs, house and crate trained. He is still all puppy who wants to play 24/7 and he is not very coordinated yet. Tank grew up with a female Weim as a pal and also did well with the family cat, bunny and goat. Tank can be shy at first meeting with people and new dogs and may do a submissive pee. But given time to warm up he had a ball playing with 5 V's in foster care. Tank needs leash work but does not sit, stay, down. He things he is a lap dog and has no space issues so will piles on other dogs or to sit in your lap. He also has no toy or food protection issues.

Sept 2006: Grissom aka Tank found a whole new country to call home! He was adopted by a Canadian couple who have a senior Vizsla named Maddie and a young male Vizsla named Hunter. Hunter was also adopted from us in 9/2005. So along with his new address Tank also got a new name, compliments of the TV show CSI. It should be perfect for a dog with his nose to the ground finding new clues everywhere. Grissom is busy keeping new mom and dad entertained with his leaping and whirling play style as he pesters Hunter into a grand game of fun. Maddie is happy to be left alone by the crazy boys so that she can be a dignified old dame. Grissom and Hunter are getting trips to the photo store and are busy making friends with all they meet. Enjoy the great white north -- my great bug lug of a baby dog -- Auntie Reb.
