Cattle Dog and Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Chaska, Minnesota

Meet Hudson, the lovebug you've been looking for.

This champion sofa snuggler loves to burrow his nose into you and contentedly snooze the evening away. Indoors, he's a well-mannered gentleman who will accompany you to the kitchen, not to beg but to patiently wait just in case some carrot, apple, or banana makes its way to him. He takes his job as neighborhood watch seriously and will let you know if someone is in the yard. This is simply part of his nature, not aggression.
When visiting his dog pals at their houses, he's respectful and chill. He'd likely do well with another dog but it isn't necessary. Meal times are a great opportunity for him to work. He's a fast eater so a snuffle mat and slow feeder bowl work great.

Hudson loves to be outside and would benefit from a fenced yard to patrol. AAs will critters in the yard. Squirrels beware! Out for a walk, he's happy to meet other dogs and their people. Walks are for sniffing and marking. He's a goof when his person stops to chat. He might lay down and wait for you to finish your conversation. He also might pull on the leash to let you know "chop chop, let's go!"
Walking at the quietest time of day is best for this distractible boy. For his current neighborhood, that means first thing in the morning.

With the following exceptions, Hudson can't be bothered with toys. Exceptions are a good, strong, no destructible chew toy/bone when he's antsy or visitors are over, and his treat ball or puzzle which he gets when left alone for the day. He's a mellow dude who doesn't mess around with household items so he has free access to most of the house when left alone.
He does best with routine and familiarity. He's great going to the vet for routine visits as well as nail trims & booty gland expressing. Dog washing happens at home in the walk-in shower - a familiar environment. He's always happy to get in the car because it usually means the park or a friend's house. Hudson is an absolute sweet pea with so much love to give.

All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.
