DuPont is a 3yo Vizsla/Lab mix who made his way into rescue from somewhere in the south. His story is now a year in the making and this page is dedicated to making sure that Pont's next home is his forever home.
DuPont has a ton of fabulous qualities, but he's not for the weak minded or the faint of heart. If you are considering bringing DuPont into your life, I encourage you to read this blog in it's entirety and make sure that you are prepared for a dog like him.

The photos you see here of DuPont being relaxed and happy and fun are the result of hard work and structure. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. You do not have to run him 5K every day, but you do have to put him to work and ask things of him on a daily basis.
The result? A calm and happy household.

Strange

I must apologize for my lack of inside intel as of late.  We've been pretty busy around here so any training I do get into with DuPont, it's spur of the moment so I'm not pulling out the camera or recorder.  I'll get to it!

In the meantime, I wanted to share with you a strange phenomenon in regards to Pont and his relationship with one of my own dogs.  I've talked about Frankie here before.  When Pont returned this time, she again was quite irritated with him.  If he so much as looked in her direction I could hear her emit a low growl. 

And I get it, man.  DuPont's treatment of Frankie is less than gentle.  He jumps on her, sits on her, tackles her to the ground, chews on her neck and head, etc.  I'd growl too if I were treated this way. 

But then they find their rhythm, and this happens.























I don't know why she tolerates this. Five minutes prior, he was sitting on her head.

Literally.
