Rambo is super cute. He is a wiggly loving attention seeking boy looking for a home to give him lots of love. He stays close to us whenever he can, gives us doggy kisses. Since we don’t allow dogs on furniture, he settles for laps or he sleeps by our feet. RAMBO IS A REALLY GOOD BOY - Good manners: No stealing food or begging, no chewing on furniture or socks, not much jumping - Respectful of people including children. Our seven-year-old granddaughter told him to get OFF the couch and he obeyed immediately, then promptly jumped into her lap. - Easy to walk (or correct) on a leash (unless there is a dog close by, see below) - Kennel trained (but would prefer the couch or bed)

- Not much grooming, his fur is short and soft. Also, almost no slobbering and no wet dog smell. - He loves eating apples, oranges, peanut butter, most (safe) people food that we tried. NEEDS MORE WORK: - We have worked with Rambo on his dog-reactivity on walks. He has improved tremendously. The Gentle Leader has really helped. He has never turned on a human, regardless of age. Currently we give him most of his food either on walks or while training at home. - He should not go to a dog park. - He sometimes snores. Rambo LOVES to be with people, but while on a leash he is not so sure about unknown dogs. Once he is used to dogs, he wants to play with them. Rambo is the perfect dog other than his leash reactiveness. For this he needs a firm leader, preferably experienced with bully breeds. If you are looking for a funny, protective, loyal and loving dog in a small package, Rambo might be the dog for you. Did I say he is cute?
