Gus is a sweet, lovable boy who will be your best friend. While he's a little wary of strangers at first, once he gets to know you, he is the sweetest boy. He is well behaved and house trained (able to be left alone for several hours), as well as knowing some basic commands - though he is partially deaf so we use hand signals for them. He is very food motivated, and will be your best friend if you share treats with him. While he has been to boarding before and does fine with the dogs there, he would prefer to be the only pet in the house as he gets attached to his people and he also chases cats. Has done well with older children, but never been around young children/toddlers. He did have pneumonia a few months ago and still has a small cough when he gets too excited or exercises too hard, but it doesn't slow him down.
