This is his real temperment. Founder's aggression issues in the shelter were strictly a result of being there for 18 months. He was kennel crazy. Most of my dogs were long term shelter residents. Some of them are permanently damaged by that experience and will never be well-adjusted dogs. Some like Founder appear to have made a pretty much full recovery. The shelter they come from is a very good no-kill facility, but extended periods of confinement will eventually have a negative effect on any animal.
