A Real Character

We've reached Bishop's final week and his trainer wishes he could say that they have the big fella all figured out. Well, they don't. However, in this case it's actually a good thing - he is such a character and they're always on their toes waiting for the next random quirk or antic to reveal itself. He has been an adventure to work with and an absolute dream. His trainer hopes that he is paired with a family that enjoys him as much as he has. He wishes the big guy the best forever. He will surely be missed!

If his trainer were to give Bishop a diagnosis, it would be “great and lovable toddler.” He’s so wonderful and still learning how to express his excitement. Being as large as he is, it might seem pushy when he gets going, but he’s just so happy to be here!

Bishop loves to run and seeing others do so without him drives him BONKERS. What else would you expect from a young greyhound, though?

Bishop is his favorite dog to date and his best friend. He is very relaxed in his new environment already. Some dogs take awhile to get used to new things. Not Bishop.

Bishop is really bright and loves treats as well as praise. He works really hard to please. He already know hurry, let’s go, kennel, release, heel, here and bed well. What a smart boy! This week, Bishop gets to run on the big yard. His trainer can’t wait to see him run.

Rare Gem

Bishop entered his 10 week training program at Jenkins and his trainer said Bishop was very patient getting his bath and his ears cleaned. This first thing his trainer noticed was his beautiful coat and color scheme.  He is an extremely handsome fella, mostly white with black patches and a cool white stripe right down the center of his head.

Bishop was calm and relaxed his first few nights.  He settled into his kennel and didn’t make a sound.  He is curious about his new environment, checking everything out.  He is very tolerant of people and being touched. He absolutely loves affection!

Bishop’s trainer is looking forward to training this one of a kind greyhound.  Whoever adopts him is getting a rare gem of a K-9.  See you next week.
