Watson

Watson

Watson is an 8-year-old stunning male German Shorthaired Pointer with a bit of white powder on his face who unfortunately has had a rough start early in life, causing him to become anxious and fearful. Watson is a good dog around people, and he likes leaning into you and getting pets. He is an intelligent dog and learns fast, although he sometimes pretends not to.

Watson is house-trained, crate trained, and had obedience training. His training has helped him be more responsive as he is observant and listens well, following instructions. He needs to be in a home without small children as he is anxious around small children. He was given up because he didn't like the grandchildren.

Watson needs a home that can provide him with lots of kindness and gentle love. A soft voice for training with a lot of positive reinforcement. Watson would also like to be kept indoors with his people as he doesn't do well when left alone outside. He thrives being with his people who are kind to him.
