Unfortunately we have no background information on this senior "gentleman". He was found as a stray and no one claimed him. He definitely was someone's pet as he adores attention and is very good for his baths and grooming.

Chester likes to bark at the big dogs if they start playing rough. It almost seems that he wants to play but he doesn't really know how or otherwise, he just likes to try and tell the big dogs that he is the boss! But he gets along fine with small dogs although he doesn't play with any of them. He will gladly curl up in a doggie bed with them, though.

Chester hates the crate. Even when given a chewie bone in a crate, he soon loses interest and wants out NOW. It is good thing that he really doesn't need to be crated.

Chester is probably either deaf or is really hard of hearing. He does startle if you touch him when he is sleeping as if he was sleeping so sound that he did not hear or notice that someone was approaching. For more info, e-mail julemson@wmol.com
