06/22/04  Balser wants to be your best friend.

This is Balser -- part everything and lots of love. 

Look at that face!  Look at his big paws!  As you can see from his paws, Balser will be a big dog.  If you have never had a big dog and don't have the patience to love and discipline them as they go through puppyhood (lasts about 18-24 months), Balser is not for you.

Balser appeared in my neighborhood Friday.  I tried to resist, but I had to rescue him when a woman kicked him. 

Please note in the pictures below how well he mixes with other dogs.  It was maybe a one hour adjustment before he was playing and romping with the big boys.  A friend brought her 4 dogs over for play day.  There was practically no adjustment time at all.  He will get along with any human or canine.  His contact with my cats has been friendly and curious.

		My cocker is a typical spoiled brat, but Balser ignored Sam's bad manners and has won him over.

He has his puppy teeth, so he is under 6 months and weighs over 25 pounds now.  He is healthy, eats hearty but not ravenously.  Very affectionate and obedient.  He has learned "NO" quickly.  He sits on the command of "manners" like my other dogs.  Think how much you can teach him.

Look at those eyes, look at those big paws.  I hope he can go to a home with another dog because he is very social, and dogs should have a companion.

My big dog (Murphy) weighs over 90 lbs.   Balser is completely at ease with him and eats out of his own bowl (learned that rule very quickly).

Beagle (Champ), Austrailian Shepherd (Swiss) and Murphy are very protective of Baby Balser.

Even big boys have to rest their eyes after a hard day of romping and chasing and being a puppy.

If you are interested in Balser, I am interviewing his prospective parent(s) now. sb
