Clifford is such a sweet dog. He follows me around the house even the bathroom, When he first came, he was so frightened. With time I gained his trust and now he is so affectionate with lots of kisses and loves being petted.

If I didn't have dogs, I would keep him, He is very calm and has a sweet demeanor.

The type of home that would suit him best would be calm, loving. He gets scared of loud noises and would do best out of the city. I feel he has so much more flourishing to do.

Since I've had him, he has made significant strides, He does need a slow approach. He's afraid of people who yell and scream,

He has been eating Wellness Fish based food, Chicken irritates his skin,

If you are looking for an active dog, Clifford is NOT for you. He's more of a couch potato.
