He looks so handsome and happy, and he's not quite five years old - and here is just part of all the positive things that they say about him:

Quote

He has obedience training and an AKC ILP number. He has AKC Canine Good Citizen and Rally Novice titles. He would be great if you are interested in Agility, Field Trials, Flyball or hunting. He loves to run and is very fast and agile. He is on the smaller size, standing 25" and weighing 55 pounds. ... He gets along fine with other dogs and kids but would also be a good only dog because he loves being by your side for attention and petting! He is also house and crate trained but is also fine being left alone in the house. ... He does not climb fences. Connor would be happy living a busy, outside life but also would equally enjoy laying next to your side on the couch, sound asleep!

He will make a great dog for someone with the time for him!

He sure is a looker and sounds like he has TONS of personality! Wonder how he ended up in rescue?

*Sigh* I know that I could NEVER keep up with a dog like that - suppose it's good that I know my limitations (and of course, I also know that we cannot take in even ONE more animal, we are already over our limit )

Hmm,now they have added one more sentence:

Quote

Connors current owners feel he would do best as an only dog.

So whose glowing assessment of him is all the rest of that?

he was adopted it says

I'm glad to hear that. It was troubling to read how wonderful he was, good with other dogs, too, and then suddenly the addendum that his "owner" says "best as an only dog" which, to me, usually means at least jealousy issues.

ETA: I guess I am out of the setter market now, although it makes me pleasantly nostalgic to look at their pictures and read about them.
