Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Whether on the playing field or resting in your arms, Polo plans to be on the varsity team. At 18 months, he already has quite a bit of experience. Experience, however, is not everything, and Polo is now sidelined because he was not a team player. If something did not go his way, he became very nippy especially if children were involved. Polo may weigh only 10 pounds, but his personality is much larger, and so we brought in an expert to help him learn civil play. He has now been in boot camp with a trainer for several weeks, and has made great progress. He will be ready to join a dog-savvy team in about a week. He is looking for an adult-only team that will provide stability, routine, and mutual respect....and that is strong enough not to succumb to his boundless charm and cuteness. Polo is neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccines. If Polo is the teammate for you, please let us know, and we will arrange a meeting. Once Polo has joined his new team, both the team and he will receive complimentary training to ensure a successful match.
