I have a high energy loving dog that loves long walks and runs and to play tug of war. He is a great snuggle buddy and car rider. Not well with smaller or older dogs due to plays rough. He loves to run fast and free outside. He is good with kids as my son is 11. We’ve had him since a puppy and they match energy but my landlord says he has to go due to he is too high strung and was my boyfriends that passed away in February. We have clothes that he loves to wear to help his anxiety that can go with him and his favorite toys. He is such a scardy cat and afraid of his own shadow and ballloons but he is an excellent guard dog as he will let you know as soon as someone hits the driveway.
