My story

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

We are almost divorced, and this is my wife's dog, but I have two small dogs and he plays too rough with them so can't leave them alone. She has spent on him adoption $1000, training $3500 and more on shots. The mother is from Germany and Father is local. He is 11 months old and has a lot of energy still, but the breed statistics are saying he will mellow out in another year. He has been trained and understands basic commands, his trainer said he is not a good pick for training beyond the basics. He is very playful, a bit too playful at times and bites when he is playing. He loves any and all toys so keep them around or he will chew on everything else especially when he needs more walking. He is not aggressive but can sound like he is because he has low self-esteem. He grunts, growls, barks and much more and can be very fun to play with. My son complains about his biting so not sure his current fit with some kids. He will make great guard dog and be very intimidating.
