Here is what else his foster family had to say:
Bandit has been nothing but a sweetheart with everyone he has met. We haven't had the opportunity to introduce him to children but there is no reason to thing there would be any problem. He is not aggressive in any way and has gotten along with all our dogs from our Bernese Mountain Dog to our tiny Yorkshire Terrier. He has not been cat tested as of yet but will soon with my neighbour's cat and I will provide an update at that time.
He is a beautiful and healthy looking boy and I mean beautiful, folks in the neighbourhood cant believe his colors!! He is a young dog, .....although I think he's an "old soul", knows why too much for his age!! Bandit has excellent house manners, no counter surfing, no stealing of food, no begging at the table and for a puppy, has never touched anything of ours, which is amazing. He is very quiet in the home and rarely barks even when our Yorkie is egging him on. He is a fast learner and very eager to please - so far he knows, come, sit, stay, and of course still working on some, but he is very clever and learns fast!! Update...just learnt lay down!!!!
Bandit is fully house trained and yes we are using a crate, longest is over night and no problems with this, in the morning looks up and says "me next?" and he likes to just go in and "hang" in there with the door open at times during the day. He is nearly leash trained. He will pull, but will pay attention when asked to go "easy" and "check" the leash. He does not try to escape the yard but will look outside when you open the door, when told to stay, he does, no bolting!! He is excellent in the car.
Bandit is a beautiful dog outside and in!!! He is clever, and wants to please!! He is playful HOWEVER he loves to be petted and held!! He would love a big family or one on one. He is already is very loyal and follows me everywhere...yes "there" too hahahaha. He can be trusted in the house, has never touched anything that is not his and is very gentle. He is a 60 lb puppy, who can romp good, so would best be suited in a home with older children and a fenced yard. We fell in love fast with this beauty!! This family will miss him a lot.....especially Rin, my Ugly Mutt, they are in love!!!!!!
If you think Bandit would be a good choice for your family, please submit an application for consideration.
