Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter,
Story
The dog was given to me through an acquaintance. Very active puppy, but he digs holes in my backyard not an aggressive dog. He jumps all over anyone that comes over not aggressively more playfully. He likes to chew on things so training is recommended so he doesn’t damage valuables. I have a busy work schedule and just want him to be in a home where he gets more attention. I had him since he was a puppy. I was bottle feeding him. He is a lot bigger now
