Zing is a big guy for a BC mix, and really strong. I think Zing would be a fantastic walking or jogging buddy, family pet, dock dog, or possibly even a tracking dog. He'll also be a wonderful companion - he's very interested in whatever it is I am doing, and usually wants to be nearby. He is very food AND toy motivated, bonds well, and really desires to be with and please his human. He is not aggressive or a resource-guarder, and gets along well with other dogs (any size or gender.) Nothing frightens him. He doesn't mind nail clipping, brushing, baths, or being picked up and held.

He's very affectionate, loves to play, (with other dogs or people) and ADORES kids (though he still needs to learn that he shouldn't jump on them and try to kiss their faces.) Zing loves to chase tennis balls, pull on a tug toy, or just romp around with the other dogs. Loves car rides, (and boat rides) and is not generally nervous with new experiences.

He is, however, big and strong, and spent his first year with no manners or appropriate doggy education. His main 'issues' are mouthing (almost completely remediated) jumping on people (MUCH improved now) and he will need a fence as he loves to explore and will follow his nose wherever it goes. Zing is super-smart, learns quickly, wants to please, has speed, energy, drive, but also has a good off switch. He will be an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING dog with a consistent, loving, firm, 'smart-strong-dog' savvy owner.


Zing is a young BC mix boy who recently came into rescue as a stray. His thick, plush, super-soft smooth-coat (double) is shiny, showing his excellent health. He's an active, strong, sweet, exuberant medium-sized dog who just needs a good education! He needs a lot of exercise, but after he's played his energy out, loves to be affectionate. Though Zing seems to have had very little appropriate education during his first year of life, he does learn quickly. Think of him as a 'past-puppy-age' puppy! No fears, no aggression, loves everyone he's met. Enjoys long walks, walks nicely in an 'easy lead' harness. Likes to be near 'his' human, but isn't a 'velcro dog.' (He's laying quietly next to my chair while I type.)

He always seems to be 'laughing,' he's got that kind of face. Unless he's looking 'apologetic.' He's got that face down pat, too. Really a strikingly attractive dog.
