Guess what Fluke got for his first birthday? A HOUSE! This young boy was a kennel dog before coming to ACES. Now, he is learning to love everything about being a pampered pet. Fluke is a sleek little fellow weighing in at only 40 lbs., but he is not short on love. Fluke loves to be part of the family, wanting to join you in whatever you do: dishes, laundry, yard work, walking. He just wants to be included. Fluke would do well with all types of families. He would be fine as only dog in a quiet household or as part of a rowdy group of dogs and children.

Fluke is looking for a family of any kind, and they only need two things: LOVE and a TOY BOX. His favorite pastime is clearing all his toys out of his toy box and playing with each and every one of them. He can spend hours entertaining himself with his toys. Now, if only we could figure out how to train him to put them back! Fluke also likes to play with our other dogs.

Fluke is one unique little setter; he was born without a tail. Obviously, the lack of a tail doesn't cause Fluke any problems. He doesn't miss it at all! He is such a happy dog that his tiny little end wags at 100 miles an hour. He could power a city with his happy waggle! And wait until you hear his ROO! He'll greet you with a big ROO when you come home; he is so excited to see his family.

Fluke loves to play in the backyard, but he can clear a four foot chain link fence so a tall fence will be necessary. As you can see in the pictures, our birdy boy loves the bird feeder we put up. Fluke is very trainable and knows how to sit and walk on a leash. He sits so pretty waiting for his meal in the morning and evening. He is crate trained and goes to bed in the evening without a peep. If you are looking for a companion and a friend for you and your family, you could not find a better dog than playful Fluke!
