Polite, but reserved, he will need sometime to warm up. Soft words, and kindness work best for Bo. On leash Bo is strong at first, once he does his business he will relax. We have gone ahead and dog tested Bo with one of our neutered rescue females named Josie and he is wonderful with her! He is also wonderful with our own resident female. Both testings were done with large dogs. Yes, we were brave and also cat tested Bo. He was curious, however did not chase . Its possible with some work he can be acclimated. Bo is immaculate in his kennel, knows sit, and shake. He needs a home with breed experience with children 14 and up. Bo loves his walks, toys, and once you allow him to bond you will have a great friend for life.Are you interested in this big guy?
