Arthas - Merle

Arthas is looking for retirement! Born in 2020. Weighs 21 pounds. He is very special to me, as he was my late husbands baby boy... He is a little particular and will need a particular retirement. He does not like intact males and/or dominant personality males. He will clash with them. He is excellent with females and usually will let them be the boss of him, lol. He LOVES puppies. As you will find with many retiring males, he marks a lot. He was neutered several months ago and this has not stopped him, so he will need to wear belly bands while in house. This may lessen or stop if he is no longer exposed to intact females, but I can't guarantee this: plan for him to wear belly bands w/ a pad liner. He doesn't poop inside, only marks. He is amazing with cats although can get worked up when he sees them outside, he has never chased them outside though just barks at them a lot or runs up TO them to look at them. Crate trained but does pretty good loose in the house as long as he's wearing a belly band... he does like to get into easy to access garbage cans though. Can be a bit crazy when he's worked up/excited and definitely don't recommend he go to a somewhere with small children as he can get quite riled up when being mishandled AND he definitely will try to herd them including ankle nips when he's in that state or if they run from him. HATES his paws touched so will need experienced nail trimmers. He prefers men if there is a man in the house, but will bond with women too. I know it sounds like he's a lot, but he's the sweetest boy who is an amazing companion who just needs more one on one attention (and space)! He is a great couch potato companion in your downtime and also is up for short walks or running in the yard! He is about to turn 6 so isn't QUITE as wild as a younger corg is. I don't want him to ever leave, but I also have to be realistic with our space and time to assure each of them is living their best lives. He just doesn't like other intact/dominant males so we are on a crate and rotate schedule with him and our other boys & I just know he would thrive being able to live without them in his life.
