He's a sensitive soul who does best with people who understand that trust takes time and are willing to let him come out of his shell at his own pace. He may start off a little reserved, but underneath that shy exterior is a loving companion waiting to build a special bond with his person. And, of course, those ice-blue eyes are impossible to resist. He's handsome on the outside and sweet on the inside.

One of his sweetest qualities is how gentle he is when taking treats. He has lovely manners and carefully takes treats with his soft mouth. It's just one more little glimpse of what a gentle boy he truly is.
