a family that will be kind and patient while he adjusts to new situations - he is extremely confident once he knows what’s going on
Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?:
He knows not to guard food from us but may need to be reminded in a new home. We just tell him “back, sit” and he will let us take the bowl. He also can be a picky eater and doesn’t always eat right away but will guard the food from other dogs.

Pet Behavior
Rehoming reason details (if necessary):
We recently welcomed a newborn and although we thought he would enjoy being a big brother, he doesn’t and has shown some borderline aggressive behavior to our newborn that could easily escalate. Approaches the bassinet when baby is sleeping and growls at it, growled in our baby’s face when we tried to introduce them in the car seat, the sounds baby makes stress him out to no end.
