The couple brought Gunner home from an Ontario breeder to be a farm dog. They also own horses, and one those, named Rookie, Gunner has taken to and even learned to ride.“He loves to get up on that horse and seem like he’s really big, overlooking everybody and saying, look at me riding my horse,” Clark adds.Clark says while the couple have always thought Gunner is a handsome boy, they only realized just how prized he is when, while still just a pup, he placed best in breed at his first dog show.
