My name is Bertie!

We adopted Bertie from a shelter in 2022 when he was 6 mo. old. He was a wild puppy, but he has turned into a sweet, playful, loving dog. He is a Sharpei Mix, we think with some Shepard and maybe Pit. He wants to please his humans and has learned some commands and loves to work for treats. He knows Come, Sit, Go Potty, Go Kennel, Back, Go. Working with him on Stay, Leave it/Drop it and Laydown. He's stubborn & needs firmness. He is crate trained, loves to play tug of war or fetch. Leash/Harness trained but pulls. Strong chewer and will Eat stuffing so recommend sturdy, unstuffed toys. He is iffy with our cat. They have learned to tolerate each other, and he isn't aggressive per se but chases and annoys the cat. Probably best with no cats or small animals. Bertie is good with people, affectionate but wary of strangers. If he knows you're cool with someone he's good but he barks at delivery people. Has some skin issues, needs weekly bath for odor & possible poultry allergy.
