Henry is a laid-back kind of guy. He does love to play, cuddle and chew his giant bones. He will require lots of room to run, especially with a friend that will play with him. Suggest a well secured yard and a strong arm to walk him. He does not know he is big. Below is a link to Henry's DNA results. The top 2 are German Shephard (White) and American Pit Bull. the other 11 genetic breeds make for an interesting mix, but also Henry's unique view of the world! https://www.wisdompanel.com/app/s/46pc5mr

Story
Jax (Jackie) is a very active puppy and will require an experienced adopter. He is working on his house training, as he is easily distracted by his energy! He loves to run in a secure yard with obstacles and friends to chase and be chased by. He has beautiful blue eyes, but it's hard to capture while he on the move. Will post better pictures when we get them!
