Are you trying to master this whole being an adult thing? Me too! Hi there, I`m Bandit! I`m a young and friendly guy with a goofy side that`ll make you chuckle. I`ve got energy to spare and love to play. I enjoy tug of war, chase, and being sprayed with the water hose. My favorite thing? Making friends, both the two-legged and four-legged variety. I get along great with adults, older kids, and other dogs! At only 1 year old, I`m gaining knowledge on how to be an adult dog. So far, I`ve mastered the command `sit` and house-training is going pretty well. I`m still learning the ropes when it comes to leash manners, but I`m getting better every day. I`m just so eager to explore the world around me! I`m a sweet boy with an adventurous and energetic personality, and I`m searching for someone that matches my spark. If that sounds like what you`re looking for in a companion, look no further. I`m Bandit, an American Blue Heeler mix, and I`m ready to steal your heart!
