My personality

My story

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

Ripley enjoys the company of his person or family.
He tends to only bark when he feels the need to let you know something.
Crate trained, house broken and very smart.
Could be a good candidate for service dog training.

He is very loyal, affectionate, and obedient.
He responds best to fair, consistent training and clear instructions without force; Use positive reinforcement!
Has a good recall, knows sits, walks on a leash. Does great on car rides.
Good around kids and small dogs.

Guessed adult size to be around 90 lbs, He has a beautiful black coat with a silver undercoat that just shines. He is a beautiful boy.

High-quality food is highly recommended to keep him in excellent health.

Ripley is Neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and ready to begin the rest of this life.
