Story
Titus was purchased from a breeder in the Waco area. We have had him since April 2020 (when he was about 9 weeks old) and he will be 5 years old this month. He is up to date on all vaccinations and has a regularly scheduled grooming is appointment each month. Titus has been a huge part of our family and loves to play and watch cartoons. He rarely barks unless someone comes to the door or there is a vendor in the house doing service work (he just likes to make sure I am good with strangers around). Titus loves kids! He loves belly rubs and walks on the trail. At this time my son has graduated and is no longer home to assist with Titus. My new career doesn't allow me to be home as often to give Titus the time and attention he needs and has previously had. Titus has not been neutered in the event we decided to breed him later, plus my son was really against it.
