Bowie is approximately 11 months old and last weighed in at 44 lbs. We picked him up from the Philly shelter along with Bean (who may be his brother). The only history we have is that on 09/21/24 both dogs were found at the same location and brought to the shelter as strays. They were both a little skinny but have put on some weight and according to the vet, are very healthy.
Bowie is a very sweet dog and loves people. He is not food aggressive and seems good around kids. Because he is a very rambunctious puppy, he would need to be monitored around small children. He is very energetic and plays very rough with Bean; these two are very close. Seems ok with most dogs but shows some aggression toward some dogs during his obedience class. His prey drive is very strong, so having small animals or pets (such as cats) around would not be advised.
He is a puppy and likes to dig and chew on anything. He is a big jumper and pulls hard on walks, all which can be fixed with time and training. Bowie is crate trained. He has had some monitored time in the house outside of the crate. He likes to counter surf which can be resolved with more training.
