He is a terrific boy that loves kids and gets along very well with other dogs. He's a perfect gentleman. He is shy at first, but food is the way to his this boy's heart. He has an excellent appetite and plenty of energy. He loves going for walks and cuddling up next to you on the couch. He is neutered and house trained.
