My name is Griffin!

Griffin is a 1.5 year old, neutered male. He is 40 lbs and up to date on all shots. He has a lot of energy. He loves to play fetch and swim! He would swim all day if we let him! We have another dog, a great dane that he has gotten along great with, he does try to be the "alpha" but with our great dane's ho-hum nature, it has not been an issue. We also have two cats, he is always interested in them but has never bitten or aggressively chased them. Our neighbor has chickens that he loves to try and herd! He has never bitten them, even when they come into our yard. He is housebroken and crate trained. He knows the commands of sit, come and working on stay at the moment (it's 50/50). The biggest issue is that I cannot try to show him affection or, as the vet describes it, he submissively pees. This breaks my heart because I have always wanted this breed. He listens to me all the time, he tries to push the boundaries with my wife. We tried to make him an inside dog. He is not an inside dog
