Luda can be very sweet. He is super energetic. He absolutely loves the snow and swimming. Unfortunately, he's always had behavioral issues. I've tried to the best of my ability and taken him to classes, but with a newborn baby in the house now, I can no longer deal with some of these. The main thing is he shows aggression towards new people and animals. He does typical barking/begging/jumping stuff. He also just has way too much energy and I don't have the time anymore to give him what he needs. I think the right person, that has experience with special needs dogs, will be able to form a great relationship with Luda. I love him so so much and this is so hard, but I cannot keep him for much longer.
