03-16-2025
This puppy is very affectionate and loving. He loves to snuggle and learn all about humans. He easily wags his tail and wants to be near. This puppy will be extremely loyal and bonded to his family. He will ward off unwanted guests with his size and looks alone, but also his aloof character.

03-02-2025
This puppy is cautious in nature. He is observant and wants to know something is safe before moving ahead or going forward. This puppy has his own mind and doesn't want to be told what to do. It's almost as if he needs to know WHY he must do something before he will do it. He has no problem submitting to consistent and secure pressure. He is not dominant, but he has a certain independence that lends itself to knowing what he wants and not being easily open to doing something he doesn't want. This knowledge will help his new family lead him in his early months to yield to consistent and fair actions. He will learn and perform if the incentives are in his best interest. This boy will be bonded to his family. He will want a trusting relationship where he is not taken for granted or told to perform unnecessary or repetitive tasks. He may be a protective dog that alerts his family to foreigners who may not have good intentions.
