My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rock is 58lbs and probably full grown at about one-and-a-half years old. In his kennel Rock is constantly guarding against strangers and barks at every person who approaches or even passes his cage. Once he is out with the handlers Rock just wants to work and play and be a part of the action. He knows sit and has an excellent response to his name and a good recall. Rock loves to play; chasing balls, squeaky toys and plush toys with equal enthusiasm. He will drop or give up a toy when offered a replacement or a treat. He is quite food motivated and is learning some good heal and leash work with treat rewards. Rock is respectful when shown respect but can become over stimulated by excessive chasing and rough housing and can respond with jumping and mouthing. Rock is a dog who wants to have a purpose as well as some fun and will be loyal to anyone who gives him love and respect and fun things to do.
