FUN FACTS: Sterling loves the sunshine and strolling around the yard, and he's a BIG fan of his toys. He is quite the gardener, too, if you count snoozing beside you while you do the work. ;0) Just watch out because he's a strawberry thief! He is extremely affectionate and kind, as well as a fantastic greeter. He can't see you with his eyes, but he still welcomes you with his heart and hands out kisses. He is an extremely happy, easy going guy who loves to hang out with you. He would do well as an only dog, or could have a calm dog with an experienced owner. No active dogs for siblings, however and no cats. Sterling is a lovely, lovely boy, full of fun antics, siliness, and charm. He loves toys and dancing around the house with them, carrying them in his mouth everywhere he goes. He'll even entertain you with a song and dance holding his toys! SO much character in this guy! If you want a bright, big smiling, laid back but happy boy, Sterling is a wonderful choice.
