Story
Max is an energetic fun loving puppy. He is around 9 months. He's great with our 5 dogs and inside and outside cats. He's been around goats and donkeys too. He should be fed separate from other animals unless you heavily work with him, and have knowledge of working with dogs with food aggression. He needs exercise and loves to run and play fetch. He sits on command and comes by calling his name. He kennels as well. Especially when you have a little kibble in your hand. He loves to be loved on. I am fostering for my daughters boyfriend who is his original owner. We have 5 other dogs Max is with every day. Reach out if you have any questions.
