Story
If you're looking for a calm laid back guy, I'm the one for you. oh, I'm not lazy I love to get out and play and run and be a goofball, but I can also settle in next to my people and just be a couch tater. what i want most is to be by my people. I am potty and crate trained, but I really don't need a crate. I would love to have some kiddos to play with or another calm dog. but I'm not real fond of kitty cats.
