Boots is an independent soul. He would be happy to roam about with his person but is not hugely reliant on them. He enjoys company but does not mind having time to do his own thing. He loves toys and water. He would enjoy hanging out in the field or hiking the trails, or even pulling apart his favorite stuffy on the couch or in the backyard. He is a little selective with dogs and a bit wary of new men. He is a little protective of his areas and comes off as aggressive when behind a fence or barrier. Once in with this boy he is very gentle.
