This dog needs to be taken to a new home due to his killing of our flock, but he is okay around cats, dogs, and children, as well as pigs. But he CANNOT under any circumstances be around birds.
He is energetic, loving, and would do well being given a job. He will learn commands for food, and is a great dog to spoil.
