We got our sweet Bleu (affectionately called Bubba) when he was around 8 weeks old back in February of 2022. He was neutered in January of 2023 and has been the best boy! He was house trained in the first few months that we had him and has been so well behaved. We got him before we had our kids and he adores them and is very gentle with them. He lets them cuddle up to him and lets the baby climb over him. He is a snuggle bug and prefers to be inside majority of the time, but loves to get his energy out by running around the yard. Even though he does wonderfully on the leash, he needs a home that has a fenced in backyard for him to play. He does not do well in a kennel, but does well being left inside. He’s been great for the vet and the groomers (everyone there LOVES him) but he’s the only dog here and doesn’t like other dogs as much. He lived with another dog for his first five months with us, but that’s been it. He’s a sweetheart and needs all the cuddles and love you can give him!
