Just look at those eyes. they will break your heart, He has flourished with lots of playtime and love. his is barley a year old and still chews, but only toys and chewies now. He also knows to come, sit and lay down. and is doing great at playing catch, he absolutely loves it and long walks or even runs. He is completely house broken. and he goes in the crate when told, and even seems to prefer to sleep in one, Will go in and sit quiet when advised, Bluey will need to be on a special diet his whole life to to a heredity liver shunt, this seems to be well controlled by the diet We give him farmers dog in the morning and the liver diet at night and he is doing great, so his cost will be about $100 a month for food, this is not unreasonable for a good quality food and more then paid back by the love and attention he will give. Bluey plays great with other dogs, but still seems to be up in your face to them and overactive and some of the other dogs put him in his place to quit. so he would probably be best in a home by himself or another very tolerant dog, He is affectionate, loving and loyal.
