One of the sweetest dogs ever, gentle, kind, timid with other dogs but accepts big and small. He is well housebroke and calm in the house. Needs lots of exercise and toys. He needs a stockaid fence or a 6' fence as he leaps a 4' fence like a horse - doesn't go anywhere but to the front door to be let in but keeping him in a 4' cyclone fence won't work. He is crate trained and leash broke, very loving but not pushy, stands quietly to be petted. Very quiet, doesn't bark a lot unless someone rings the doorbell. Is as tall as my Great Dane but slim lined
