Generally, he is very sweet and affectionate. Needs attention and a great yard to run around in. He probably shouldn't walk around in crowded areas of people as he gets overwhelmed. Never tested him with kids. He tends to try to stand up on people when he greets them. He's highly vocal at times, like when he wants to get out of his sleeping kennel in the morning around 6:45-7. Doesn't know how strong he is. He gets along with my other dogs, except for a German Shepherd.
