Sawyer gets along with other dogs and plays well, but he’s just as happy to hang out beside you. He’s housebroken, crate trained, and non-destructive if given some space in the house.

He’ll thrive with a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and another dog friend at home. For families, older kids (10+) suit him best. He does not get along with cats.
