Hi everybody…my name is Barney and I’m a 4-year-old boy. I have a lot of energy, so it sure would be good if I could find an active family to love. I have been with my guru teacher for the last few months learning your human ways and I’m doing pretty well I’m told. I was a disaster on the leash thingy before, but now, with a gentle leader, I’m much better; however, if I see another dog or a critter, all bets are off because I can pull like crazy. Because I’m a strong boy, I need a confident leader with the strength and capacity to handle me on my walks. Of course, if you have a big fenced backyard, then I can burn off a lot of energy running around, playing fetch, chewing sticks, and rolling in the grass or snow (one of my favourite things to do). You can certainly touch me anywhere. Loud noises don’t bother me. You can leave me alone if you have to go out without me and the doc says I’m a healthy boy. I love people and I am very friendly and affectionate. I am not always good with other dogs and because I’m so energetic, my foster dad feels It would be best if I went to a home with no other dogs or small children. I respond well to a strong leader so I can continue with my education. I do love life and I wake up each morning with a smile on my face as I’m raring to go. So, if you are a bit like that then maybe we’ll be the perfect fit.
