He's also great with children, and a very friendly, stable dog. I have him doing high level obedience, scent/nose work, and protection (Schutzhund) now. Other hobbies of his are swimming, agility, Barn Hunt, and lure coursing! He's competing and getting titled now. I've keep him busy, and he's turned out to be an amazing house dog, although I bring him almost everywhere. I also just wanted to thank the Columbia County Humane Society staff so very much for allowing me to adopt him, especially from out of state. I would love to bring him by one day.”
