Camper is about 4 years old, adopted from a local shelter about three years ago. We dont know much about his first year of life. He is a wonderful pet and family dog - he loves to fetch & is a big teddy bear! He knows how to sit, shake, lay down, and play dead. He is very obedient & He is good on a leash. Overall we are sad to have to part ways but would highly recommend him for any single or family! He has been great with our infant and does very well with other dogs!
