Otis's Story

Otis is boisterous but sweet dog. He loves everyone. He learnt potty training very quickly and taught himself to use the dog door in one day by observing the other dogs. He's learning the basic commands. He plays very well with the other dogs but he is enthusiastic and strong so an older, shier dog would not be a good fit. He needs a young family with lots of energy. Otis does great with kids and will lick them to pieces but he could bowl over very young children since he has a lot of puppy tendencies. He's fixated with squirrels and literally tries to climb the tree to get to them. I doubt if he'd be good with cats. Otis walks very well on the leash and loves long walks. He's great on car rides. He loves buffalo horns and dura fused dog toys. Would do best with a fenced yard of 8' or more.
