Moe is
highly agile and will fearlessly negotiate obstacles. He
is a search and rescue dog in training, and both trails
and airscents to human subjects. Moe is ruggedly
handsome, something of a canine Russell Crowe, and has
charming expressions and a cuddly persona. He is a good "everydog,"
or can pass as an exceedingly attractive border collie.
Moe can work with unfamiliar animals when all animals are
under control, and is excellent with all humans.
Moe can
learn new behaviors quickly if specifics are provided in
advance of a job. The above repertoire is current as of
November, 2004, and will expand regularly.
Moe is
also available to do simple work with his cousin Friday, a
clear sable (yellow) and white English shepherd who makes
an attractive "set" with him.
Moe
resides near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and is owned and
trained by Heather Houlahan of
LapWolf Dog Training
