This gorgeous boy loves his people!

He is crate trained and sleeps through the night without a peep.  Does well on the leash and he is very visual like a typical Springer - he will react to birds, squirrels, cats and the occasional leaves that blow across his path.  

House trained and has been very reliable at his foster's home.    Super affectionate and always up for a cuddle. For his age, he is pretty relaxed and happy to stretch out for a long nap after a good walk, preferably next to your feet. He enjoys playtime, but is not obsessed with his toys or intent on destruction. Hasn't figured out fetch yet, but is treat motivated so has some good training capability.

Some insecurity with new dogs, so introductions need to be done carefully and patiently. Have not yet observed him with small children. Don't recommend cats due to the prey drive we have observed.

This boy is a wonderful companion with great potential as he continues to gain confidence. If you are looking for a cuddle buddy, he will happily be your guy.
