Acacia A183945
25 lb. neutered male, approx 8 months old

-This boy is fun and playful!
-Out in the yard he had fun chasing after a tennis ball but he doesn't understand the "retrieve" part yet
-He loves pets and flipping over for belly rubs
-He didn't seem to understand how to play with a stuffie but over time, with encouragement, he started to play a little bit with it
-He is treat motivated, picking up "sit" and takes them decently. He had a hard time figuring out how to take them from my hand. -Overall he's a very good boy who just needs guidance and training!
-He definitely needs some work on leash still. As of right now he twirls and bounces and wraps around your legs. He just needs some practice!
-Will need some puppy training. Please keep that in mind if you want a puppy. They require time and patience to be the best that they can be!
-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros
