Notes: Dutton is an easy-going friendly boy who loves exploring his surroundings and meeting new dogs. He likes people, especially when he is having his ears rubbed or being taken on a nice long walk. He should not be left in a yard alone because one of his skills is fence-climbing. Dutton should be fine with children because he is gentle, not a jumper and not too big at 45-50 pounds. He walks well on leash and is almost house trained, so it should be easy to finish the job. Dutton can hardly wait for someone to recognize what a handsome friendly boy he is and take him home to get lots of love and pats and lots of walks in the woods.
