House has been with us for almost a month now. He’s just a big, beautiful teddy bear who wants to be loved on all day long. Everyone gives him compliments during our walks, probably because of his irresistible charm and plush and shiny tuxedo coat (not a single hint of kennel-butt to be seen!). House is completely housebroken, has great leash manners and is fine in his crate while his humans are at work or school during the day. There have been no displays of aggression towards people or other dogs big or small, but we haven’t seen him interact with a cat before. He’s very quiet, but you’ll occasionally hear snuffling sounds from him when he’s happy or excited. He sometimes forgets how big he is, so when he sees you after a long day, he may bump into furniture or slip and slide on the tile/hardwood floor in his excitement to welcome you home (he likes to lean but he would never be impolite enough to jump on someone). House is very gentle with people, and he is very polite when meeting strangers or accepting treats.

     House is also fantastic when it comes to maintaining his hygiene. He loves having his coat brushed and tries to return the favor with lots of kisses. He is fine with getting nails trimmed and ears cleaned, and will even deal with his daily dental brushings with no complaints. He’s adapted wonderfully to apartment living and the life of a beloved pet, and he calmly looks to his owners for guidance in new situations. In just a few days, he was able to climb six flights of stairs by himself and he’s a pro in the elevator.  He stays off of the furniture and has not tried to counter-surf once (though he’s so tall he can easily stick his nose into things if you aren’t watching). A simple no is more than enough to deter any unwanted behavior. House is just a beautiful and loving boy who dreams of sharing all of his love with some lucky family, big or small. He is great as a silent study buddy or an active jogging partner or even an expert squirrel catcher; he really is an outgoing and confident dog who just wants to be happy with his family.
