Notes: Boss is a big personality - he definitely has his opinions but is sweet as he can be. He does great with people but can be selective about his dog friends. Boss weighs about 55-60 pounds, and he is trying to be house trained but will need some more work. He walks well on leash although he does pull some. Boss is quite attentive to whoever he is walking with and loves his walks. He is looking for a forever family with an active lifestyle who want to take him for nice long walks in the woods and play with him in a fenced yard so he can brush up on his ball chasing and make friends with kids in the family.
