I am a 2 1/2 year old Mastiff/Lab mix and am told I'm a smart boy with HIGH ENERGY. I love to run, play fetch, play keep away and be with people. I LOVE PEOPLE. I also love me some car rides and pup cups. I am good with other dogs with proper introduction, may need extra time depending. I was fostered in a home with cats. I just wanted to play but don't realize how big am so will intro with that as well. I was a little overwhelming to them. I would do great in a home with routine and structure, lots of exercise and activities. I had several weeks of training at K9 University in OKC. Its been awhile so I could use some refresher on commands. I am highly teachable and will do anything for food! I do like to test boundaries though. I am potty and kennel trained. I will need a fenced in yard as I like to jump and can jump high. I am a big goofy guy, but I love everyone including kids!
