10 months old 12 pounds Sam is a smart, curious and energetic puppy. He is very devoted to his people and will make a close companion. He loves to run but will settle for a long walk. Frequent exercise will keep his puppy energy directed to positive things. Being smart, he is trainable and needs patience as he learns what is expected. He enjoys being brushed and considers it bonding time. He is friendly with everyone and approaches eagerly on leash. When you stop walking, he will sit and wait. He is working on not jumping up on people and is improving - he's just happy to meet people!
