If a furry friend starts to run, he happily follows along, thinking it’s all part of a fun game. <br/><br/>Outdoors, Ernie shines. He has excellent recall and walks nicely on a leash, making him a great companion for adventures. He rides calmly in a crate in the car and settles right into his crate at bedtime when asked. He’s also been doing wonderfully with house manners and has had no accidents.<br/><br/>Ernie is a smart boy who understands commands like “sit” and “no,” and he’s shown himself to be gentle and good-natured. Farm animals like chickens and cows certainly catch his interest, but so far, he has been respectful with them. <br/><br/>Curious, clever, and full of personality, Ernie is ready to bring laughter, love, and lively companionship to his forever home.<br/><br/>Ernie is approximately 3 years old, weighs 37.6 lbs, and has a stubby tail.
