Gar and Ike are about 8 months old. Their former owner left them at the boarder's and never returned for them. They are people-friendly and OK with most other dogs. Foster mom feels they should be adopted separately and wouldn't recommend a home where there are cats.

They are crate-trained, need a little work on housebreaking, and very playful. They are, of course, strong like that breed is.

When a visitor stopped to by, they barked at first but were by no means ferocious guard dogs. When she walked in the gate, they greeted her with wagging tails. They did jump up, but she said "Sit!" and they did. They have great potential to be wonderful pets and need someone willing to work with them now, while they're so young.
