Story
Colt will be 6 in July. I got him as a puppy from a breeder in Kentucky. We have a male great pyrenese/lab that he gets along well with. We have a cat he likes chasing around if she runs from him. He has never harmed her upon catching up to her. He has been around my two small children from newborn to age 8. He is very toy-driven and would play fetch for hours on end. He loves playing in the water hose. Unfortunately, I have been unable to stop him from digging in our yard as he is quickly bored. He does great on walks. He would do best in a large fenced-in area. He does not respond to an electric fence/collar. He is house-broke but does not hold it well for long periods. We do not kennel him at night; he is left to roam the house with no issues. We try to keep him off the furniture, but he does like to sneak on the couch at night. I would love to keep both boys together, but I am open to re-homing individually.

Story
Duke will be 5 in September. I got him before he was a year old. We have a male German shepherd that he gets along well with. We have a cat he doesn't pay much attention to, but he will chase her around if she wants to run. He will not harm her if he catches up to her. He has been around my two small children from newborn to age 8. He can be timid when guests arrive but warms up quickly once we let him know they are a trusted person. Duke is a giant lap dog that does not realize his size. He is generally a lazy cuddler but does get playful with other dogs. He can be anxious if left alone and does much better with another dog or if someone is home. He is fully house-broke. We do not kennel him at night; he is left to roam the house with no issues. We try to keep him off the furniture, but he does like to sneak on the couch at night. I would love to keep both boys together, but am open to re-homing individually.
