I'm expected to grow into a pretty large dog, but no matter how big I get, I’ll always be a big fan of my humans! I am a super calm and chill puppy, and my handler calls me “the bomb” because I get along so easily with humans and other dogs alike. I’m already a total natural at riding in the car, so I'm ready for whatever adventures we take together! If you’re looking for a pup you can train and mold into the perfect companion, look no further. While raising a puppy takes plenty of time, attention, patience, and effort, I promise all that hard work will be 100% worth it in the end. My favorite place in the entire world is sprawled out right in my human’s lap, soaking up all the love, pets, and cuddles I can get. If you're ready for the commitment of raising a loyal, gentle giant, I’m ready to move into your heart and home!
