Story
He was born April 29, 2025. His mom is an Australian Shepherd (pic 4), and his dad is a Bully Xl (pic 3). See the picture of the parents. He is on the go all the time, so does needs some training and a yard to run in. I think he is just a little confined living in an RV. He likes to play fetch. Does not like cats or at least thinks they should play with him, only he is a little too rough. Does not like to be left alone and can become destructive (chew shoes) when he is. He can be good, just needs more space than what we have.
