bear is a big love bug, he loves affection and playing. he still has a lot of puppy in him so he's super active, playful, makes funny noises like grunts and snorts, and loves to run. he did very well on the farm we had when we first got him where he had a big yard and lots of room to run and play. he loves other dogs, he's not aggressive, he does good with cats he just wants to sniff them and stay around them. he doesn't get into trash or anything around the house and he is house broke although sometimes if he doesn't get out in time he does mess in the house. he is very regular with going to the bathroom 15-30 minutes after eating. he does like to give kisses and to lay with you and cuddle.
