Despite these changes, he remains a sweet and calm companion seeking a quiet home and loving people. This handsome Newfoundland has a reserved nature, but once comfortable, his gentle personality truly shines. Scout enjoys leisurely walks, relaxing on the couch, and spending time with his humans. He knows basic commands like "sit," takes treats nicely, and walks well on a leash. Plus, he's house trained and keeps his kennel clean. Scout gets along with other dogs and has been good with children of all ages.

With his floppy ears and fluffy fur, he has the look of a dog you’d want to cuddle with on cozy evenings.
