Bear was half Chow Chow, and half Rough Collie. He may have had something else too, but we knew those two for a fact.
Bear was more my Dad's dog than mine. Even though we played a lot. He loved my Dad the most. He was very picky about his treats, and would only eat Milk Bones, not any of the off brands.
My favorite story about him, as one day when his collar broke. Dad had been searching all over town for him, but eventually had to go back to work. After lunch we got a call from the town dog catcher that recognized Bear and asked Dad to come get him. The Dog Catcher had been trying to catch Bear for over an hour.
Dad filled his pockets full of Milk Bones. When Bear smelled them, he came to Dad right away. Dad made him hop into the back of the truck before he got a second one. We got him a stronger collar after that.
I used Cirrutopia's Fuffy Husky Base to start make him.
