HOW IS DOG WITH OTHER ANIMALS: Fantastic, zero issues. Not a mean bone in his body.
BEST MATCH: With someone who is home most of the time since he really wants to be around people or other dogs. He has long fur so someone that would brush it. Would enjoy dog parks, hiking, outdoor actives. Someone to take him in the car for rides places since he’s had little experience getting to go places. Needs to learn more basic training, to learn to listen. Best not for first time pet owner. He’s an easy dog, but good to know basic reward-based training, set rules and boundaries. He’s a sweetheart!! A heart of gold.
FAVORITE THINGS: Food/treats and cuddling, playing fetch and tug-a-war. Being with people.
