He relishes outdoor activities like hiking and fetch, and he's even been introduced to agility courses, where he shows off his smarts. His past experiences with aggressive dogs led to his protective nature, but deep down, all he wants is to be loved. His affectionate demeanor makes him a true Velcro dog, always wanting to be close to you.
