Pierce is an athletic two-year old male who is a macho, headstrong guy. His classic black and tan markings are accented by a copper-toned face, which bears a permanent scar from a burn caused from wearing a muzzle that became imbedded in his skin. Pierce requires a highly experienced owner who will be committed to rehabilitating this harshly abused, over-protective boy who has suffered much adversity. Pierce also needs an environment with no small animals, as he has a powerful tracking instinct and high prey drive. However, Pierce is extremely affectionate with people and has shown no aggression toward any humans. Pierce is a stand out in his training program and he learns well under the guidance of calm, strong, and assertive leadership. The ideal home for Pierce is in a rural environment with someone who is interested in having only one companion animal. In return, he will be your loyal friend and protector.
