This sweet doggo is as sweet and loving as they get. He loves to be with his people and loves to play with his dog companions. He can be energetic and playful but also loves a good cuddle session on the couch or on the bed. Hes nearly a year old and has a few manners to learn. Hes a great walking or running companion but is still learning not to pull when hes sees a squirrel. He would do best in a home with a yard for him to roam in. Or with a companion to rough house with outside. He does well in his crate but does get anxious at first. He loves peanut butter and beef lung treats. Hes great at sit, stay, come, and going in the crate when asked. This boy would do really well with a family with martyred kiddos in the age of 10 and older who can handle his playful energy. Not certain about cats but he absolutely loves all dogs. He would come with a handful of treat, a large crate, a comfy bed and lots of toys.
