I admit I grew up on the rougher part of town. Ma and Pa worked hard and played harder, so good manners and "boundaries" weren't words that were used too often in our house. I'm tryin' to make up for lost time though and tryin' my hardest to be a gentleman. I'll never be one of those goody two-shoes guys who hate to get their paws in the mud. Nope, I'm always the guy that's up for a hike or a game of ball!
So about this manner-stuff! Believe me, I'm a good boy and sometimes I just can't get close enough to my people...which is doggy speak for saying that I occasionally jump up on my person...or I will try to dominate another dog by riding him or her, but I take correction very easily and am ever so anxious to please and make a good impression. My Georgia peeps whispered that a training class would really help!

Bear is a big Luvbug that needs a few manners, He loves to be close to his people and that does mean he occasionally jumps up on his person. He likes to run and play. He will try to dominate another dog by riding him or her but takes correction easily. Bear is ready for his new home.
Bear is an energetic, athletic, adventurous pup looking for his forever home. He is super friendly and loves to jump up to say hey!
Bear is a young chap with a dynamite personality! He is very excitable and loves to hang out with people! He does jump up when he gets over excited but he is a smart boy and this can be trained out of him with some love and consistency in his life . Bear would be a perfect companion for active outdoorsy people who like long walks and hiking. Ideally no small children around for Bear because he is a little clumsy and doesn’t have the best awareness of his own size! He is super friendly and ready to find his best friends to go on adventures with.
He loves rope toys, playing tug of war and also chewing on a bone.
