Adorable floppy ears, age 9, missing one eye but not very noticeable since he’s has mostly short shiny black fur.

Loves to play fetch, full of energy despite his age.

Wants to sit in your lap as much as possible. I have been tirelessly working to teach him to sit on the couch beside me instead of on my lap so much. He is improving and becoming more independent but still demands a lot of time and attention.

He did not even know how to sit on command. He has learned that since he finds treats very motivating.

He walks nicely on a leash and has plenty of stamina to go many blocks.

Is house trained as long as he gets out on a regular schedule.

Good with my grandchildren aged 7 and 9 and loves people.

A bit yappy by the table so I suspect previous owner passed him tidbits. Working on teaching him better manners.

He also yaps a bit at bedtime in his kennel but settles down after a few minutes now. Suspect he slept in his previous owners bed.
