Manny has been such a wonderful addition to our family. We were wanting a 2nd dog as a last resort effort to help with our other dog's anxiety issues (he was maxed out on medication, wasn't eating for days, wasn't leaving the living room rug etc). We could not have picked a more appropriate personality to go along with our family than this little guy. He is such a goofball and just goes with the flow for anything. Our other dog has completely done a 180 with his anxiety, to the point where we have weaned him off his medication. He has gained 7 pounds in the last 2 months since we have gotten Manny and is the happiest we have seen him in over a year. He gladly goes on walks now because he has his big goofy side kick with him that isn't afraid of anything! Manny has such an easy going and good natured personality. He literally looks like he is smiling all day long. His recall was so amazing from Day 1 and he knew how to sit, has always waited so patiently for his food, and loose leash walking was a breeze. You could really tell that a lot of work had been done while Manny was a pup at Maverick Ranch. He has no objections to you touching any area of his body such as his feet, tail, or mouth area. We did sign up for Baxter and Bella training... however, I was not the greatest at making time for it... so we have been doing in person training in Saskatoon and Manny has excelled. He is such a quick learner and is always aiming to please. Everyone in the class is always so amazed that he is looking up at me for direction and approval the entire time and isn't distracted by other smells and sounds going on during class. He has the best hair do with a little rooster tail on the top of his head that can't be tamed even if we wanted to. You can find him sprawled out like a pancake on the kitchen floor while we are making meals, chewing on his antler on his dog bed, or laying on his back on the couch with his feet up in the air! He likes to have a good belly rub or ear scratch but he isn't all about the snuggles. He does like his own space and prefers to be on the floor somewhere most of the time. That's Manny in a nutshell! We love him to pieces. Great job on creating this fabulous dog. We will be reaching out to Maverick Ranch in the future when looking for another dog.
