Amstel English Setter Adult Male for sale in Temperance, Michigan

Amstel's story
He loves humansall ages, all sizes, male or female! He approaches them very excitedly when on a walk, but does not jump up on them. He knows: Sit, Come, Cookie, Kiss. He needs work on: Stay, Heel, Back-up.
Good with Children: Super! Loves Children! Before Amstel came to live with me, his foster mom, he spent a short time at another home. The picture with the little boy, and its title, says it all!
Good with Dogs: YES! Amstel is non-confrontational. He does not get in the other dogs face. He is more reserved and cautious. Currently he is living with 10 other dogs of various sizes and breeds

has no issues with any of them

very easy going. Amstel has been invited to play on several occasions by different members, but has not taken anyone up on the offer. When his owner passed away, Amstel was brought in with another dog, a female setter. But it appeared they were not bonded and thus went their separate ways.
I believe Amstel would do fine living with one other dogor two. Heres the PERFECT thing: Amstel is super with all of my dogs and foster dogs. But it is at night, after I have put everyone else in their kennels, and Amstel and I head off to my room for bed (BTW Amstel is a great sleeping buddy). Once I shut the door the true puppy Amstel comes out! We play with toys! We wrestles! He fetches! We have Whats under the covers? playtime (you know, I put my hands under the covers and then he trys to getem.) He is such a love bug when he is with humans only. [FYI: It takes 7 dogs of my own to fill my heart

with Amstel, I could do it with just him alone!] He would thrive with a family

especially one with kids! He is the perfect family dog. Loves his humans!!
Good with Cats: Yes/Unknown. He shows absolutely no interest in my cat-dog ( you know, a cat that thinks its a dog.) Morgan lives in a three level cage in the dining room

right in the middle of all of the action

and Amstel could care less.
House trained: YES! But even perfect dogs can have an accident. He has been with me two months and had one accident - - - because I got home 2 hours later than normal. I do not blame that accident on him!
Crate trained: YES! He goes in on command. He prefers a soft cushy bed under him rather than the hard plastic floor. And he stays quiet unless he has to pee. Then all you hear is a soft whining.
Leash trained: Okso he is not PERFECT. He does pull when on leash and needs some training. I am 52 yrs young and live where the sidewalks are icy

so I have had to use a rounded tip pinch collar when we go walking. With that I can walk both him and myself safely. But, for his own good and for bonding purposes, I would highly recommend an obedience class.
Activity Level: He is an English setter

what more needs to be said? Note: He does not run around the backyard like some of my other setters do. But take him for a walk and his energy shines! He will need/want a healthy walk or two every day.
Fence: Personally, I think for the safety of any dog there should at least be a chain link fence. But I would not call Amstel a flight risk. He could easily be trained to respect an invisible fence. I have a privacy fence. OK.again, he is not PERFECT. I dont know why, but Amstel loves to bark if left alone in the backyard. And I mean a constant bark

so when I leave the house for a few hours he gets to hang out in the bedroom. If I lived in the country I wouldnt care

but I have neighbors, so we adjust.
Behavior: Loyal. Loving. Obedient. Playful when he is the only dog around. He likes to talk to you

grumble, rumble when I trim his nails, or wash his feet, or clean his ears, or wipe his eyes

I just grumble, rumble right back at him --- his tail just wags! OH, and once he gets comfortable with you, after a few weeks, he might start to be a bit bossy around dinner time

especially if you are running late! He starts whoo, whooing, at me! So I asked him, You got a problem with me? Whooooo, whoooo! I love it!
Medical History: Up to date!
Foster Comments: He is the closest thing to perfect I have seen in my life. Like I wrote, I could live quite happily with him and him alone! (That says a lot to me.) No, he is not PERFECT, but he is sweetgentlea constant shadowa loving companiona great furry body for a child to hug after a hard day at schoola great furry body for an adult to hug after a hard day at living!!...a snuggler for when you are catching up on TVa perfect furry body of love!! And, if you want, he gives nice kisses!
