Thanks. Pat, Chipper is so abused.

Not sure what his mix is. Best the vet can figure is German Shepherd and Basenji. Probably some shar pei thrown in. He definitely has the Basenji hatred of water (which includes mud puddles, wet grass, and rain). He'll willingly go into the small pond at the dog park but only up to his belly. And that's only if there is a dog in the water that he absolutely MUST play with. Other than that, he steers clear.
