This teenage boy is full of enthusiasm and happy tail wags. He adores attention, room to run, and is unaware of his own size and untapped potential. He is adept with leash walking and rides very well in a car, but will need continued reinforcement on basic manners, housebreaking and boundaries. Rip needs a fenced in yard and daily exercise as an outlet for his high energy personality. He prefers the company of female dogs, and will need supervised introductions to male dogs and children. He also needs a home without cats or small animals. Snoot demands hugs from the staff every time he leaves his kennel to walk or goes outside to the yard. Super loveable, he would be a great outdoors man or adventure companion.
