A quick assessment.

I've found out a few things out these past couple of days:
1) Gantry likes to lick. A lot.
2) Gantry knows no commands. (I think he's going to get "sit" real soon though.)
3) He does respond to being addressed, ie: "Hey Gantry, come here dude."
4) Gantry would rather follow you around than take "care of business" while in the yard. I mowed the grass and he followed right behind me.
5) He likes rawhide chews but not rawhide bones.
6) Gantry is a collector. If I put the rawhide bone outside of the kennel he will promptly take it back in the kennel, drop it, then come right back out.
7) He's not an escape artist. He hasn't even tried to leave the kitchen which he is confined to while getting over the mange.
8) He likes tennis balls (big shock there).
9) He is ravenously hungry all the time (another shocker).
10) He is house-broken.
