DESCRIPTION
Marshall is a sweet, gentle boy with a calm and easygoing personality. This affectionate guy enjoys spending time with his people and is just as happy settling in for some quiet cuddles as he is heading out for a walk. He has a wonderful balance of playful energy and laid-back charm that makes him an easy dog to enjoy.
He is crate trained, keeps his kennel clean, knows how to sit, and walks on a leash, giving him a solid foundation to build on.
Marshall is dog selective and also resource guards his food, so he will need thoughtful introductions with other dogs and a family that understands the importance of giving him space during meals. He has done well with children ages 7 and up and would be a great fit for a first-time owner who is willing to provide structure and continue working on his training.
Once he trusts you, Marshall is a loving companion who enjoys being close to his people. He would happily curl up in your lap and spend some quiet time together after a walk. With his soft, fluffy ears, silky coat, and sweet personality, Marshall is ready for a family willing to give him the consistency and patience he needs to succeed.
