·          Bear is a very loveable puppy and content 

·          Barks only when needing to go outside or when playing with his brother

·          Would recommend a fenced yard as he will need to run out puppy energy

·          Bear has the softest coat and is very cuddly when he is tired.  He always sleeps on his back with his back legs crossed.  He is a very laid-back puppy for the most part and does listen well.  He knows “no” and sits for treats.  He will be a treat driven dog and will do well with training.  He likes playing with his brother and our older 2-year-old and loves, loves, running with the little kids in the neighborhood. Bear is a typical puppy that will require ongoing training.
