We got Ed from a couple in So. Oregon. He is from a shady breeder down in that area and has a number of health issues. We were told he was 8-9 weeks old but he seems younger than that. It may just be because he is so underweight and hasn't had good nutrition. He is deaf  and has some vision impairment, but sees well enough to get around just fine. His hips and back legs don't look or work quite right at this point, but again, that may be from malnutrition. We'll just have to wait and see. Ed is such a good little boy, he happily stays in his crate, chewing on his toys, sleeping, or just enjoying dozing in the sun.. He only cries when he is hungry or needs to go out. Most times he lets me know when he has to go, but sometimes, if I can't respond soon enough, he will have an accident in his crate. He has only had limited exposure to the big dogs, but has handled it well. He basically follows me around or places himself in a strategic position if I an coming and going past the same spot a lot. He is inquisitive, likes to play with me or the other dogs (as long as the don't get too rough) and is just an all around happy little guy.

We will post additional photos of  Ed as time goes by, so check back often.
