Hiking

Sahara has been on some trails, but today he learned what those big rear muscles are for... climbing!  Today's hike was about 50 minutes, but the first 30 minutes was a huge hill climb.  I am sure it is nothing like he has ever experienced.  I think his thighs felt like jello, but he was a good sport and gave a maximum effort.

Sahara also travels very well in our SUV.  He is very relaxed and falls asleep.  In fact, the picture below is before the hike.  After the hike, he was flat out.

All in all, Sahara is bold and eager to explore new places.  He does not appear to be at all noise sensitive.  He gets along very well with our other dogs and has done well meeting smaller dogs.  We work full-time so he is crated for about 10 hours each day.
