Billy

Billy is an amazing dog, but unfortunately he does not get along with our other dog. He still plays well with other dogs outside of the home but we have not had the opportunity to test other dogs in his space. We think he is about 11 months old. He is highly intelligent making him fun to train. I think he would make a great farm dog or hunting buddy! He also really wants to meet kids when we are going on our walks. I think he would be great with older kids but gets very excited and may jump on them.
