About dogs named Link

The following are 30 profiles of dogs named Link from our database of 135 dogs with the name Link.

• “Link is our curious explorer who loves sniffing every trail and investigating every corner of a new yard. He enjoys roughhousing with his brother Tony and seems convinced he’s a husky despite being a Doxador! Link is happiest when he has room to roam, explore, and spend time with his pack.“

  — Lacey M.

• “My name is Link! I have my CGC, CGCA, and CGCU. I do best with other neutral, playful, but not overly pushy dogs. I find it easier to play with other small dogs, but am fine training alongside big 50+ lb dogs (just usually won’t play with them). I’m not really a fan of other dogs being energetically in my face right away and will give a fair correction. I love chasing and being chased by my friends, as well as fetching a ball together! ❗️ Right now Link does have a grade 2/3 luxating patella sadly, so we’re currently just looking to train until after surgery and recovery.❤️‍🩹“

  — Taylor K.

• “Link is a 3 year old Shiba Inu. He loves to play in small bursts and then passes out. He’s friendly with kids, but needs more exposure with dogs who have a calm demeanor.“

  — Kevin H.

• “Link is new to our family and the world. He loves his big brother and is always looking to make friends. He can be bark-y on a leash as he learns how to live (previously unhoused) within four walls. He warms up quickly and is very receptive to redirection and training. Total snugglebug.“

  — Andrea C.

• “Hi I'm Link and I have big emotions that I'm learning how to control. I've found relief in chewing on rope toys when big emotions arise. I love a slow sniff walk so I can really take in every detail. I like to play tug and would rather just watch my sister Piper play fetch than join in. I dont speak dog very well but am trying to learn so I can have more friends than just my sister. The world is so big and I wasn't given the chance to experience much of it until lately so I'm learning all the things to be the best good girl I can be.“

  — Stephanie H.

• “I'm 3 years old, and love to chase my laser light. Kids are my all time favorite, oh and little dogs too.“

  — Krystal H.

• “Link is an active border collie who loves dog sports and outdoor activities. He’s a service dog in training and he’s about a year and a half now.“

  — Kristen R.

• “Hi! I’m link! But my mom calls me tinky winky. Or stinky wink. I’m a blue heeler who lives to annoy my fur family and a straight up mommas boy. I am crazy and wild but the most fun loving little heeler ever!“

  — Desteney B.

• “Link is a rescue from a "friend". He's picky who he likes. Same for people and other dogs. He lives with me but is my son's dog.“

  — Shawna C.

• “Obsessively affectionate Velcro dog. Goofball with high energy and vocal when he's feeling sassy. Likes to play with toys by himself (tossing then and then chasing, pouncing), but will also play tug with Zelda sometimes.“

  — Jenna F.

• “Link is a Basenji mix that is very high energy and loves to meet people and say hello.“

  — Travis E.

• “Sweet, charming oaf who loves to herd his humans. He’s deaf, loves zoomies and ear scratches, and is a sneaky counter surfer. Does well with kids but not so much around other animals.“

  — Sunni D.

• “Sweet boy, very attached to his sister. Rescue from Mexico, new-ish to the family.“

  — Tess M.

• “Hi! My name is Link and I am everyone and every dogs bestest friend! I love exploring, chasing a frisbee, and being out on the town.“

  — Liz W.

• “Link is a 5 yr old male German Shepherd and he loves to sniff and explore new spots. He does have some reactivity but is in training for it.“

  — Jenn P.
