Fitzwilliam

Fitzwilliam has been with me for almost 6 months now. He is a unique dog, in a good way and I am quite enjoying him. He’s my steady eddie dog. He doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve like a lot of dogs do, he is much calmer about his affection towards me, which is good. I alternate sitting w/my foster dogs in their yard after dinner, I bring my chair in and read my book. He is the most pleasant dog to sit with. He puts his head in my lap for pats, and eventually goes and does his own thing. That said, he is a large dog so he can be a bit strong on a leash, but mostly if I go in the woods and we see deer. If I walk him on the road he is quite pleasant to walk. When it comes to meeting people he is a bit shy. I have never seen him be snarky, he is more inclined to move away. If they leave him alone he will go right up and sniff them and eventually meet the person. When I take him places I am very careful getting him out of the car, he does tend to want to leap out of the car. In 3 seconds he is fine and we go for a pleasant walk in the park, I think at this point he is just excited. He likes other dogs, and I know they let him in play groups at the shelter. I would say a 6’ fenced yard for him is a must. He is an easier dog with a calmer disposition. You mostly just have to be able to handle him if he is stronger on the leash. Otherwise he is just a super dog!
