Bam Bam has many lovely qualities including being a great cuddler with a funny personality and such a cute little guy full of affection once he feels safe and bonds with you.
He is potty trained and easy to feed ( eats everything quickly)
He happily lets you put on his winter jacket and leash to go out for a walk. Bathing is ok too though you better be quick about it.

Within a couple of weeks I left him out of his kennel when I left home with no issues. He is trainable as he loves treats, praise and your affection. Did I mention he loves cuddles and cozying in his humans bed to quietly go to sleep till you are ready to get up.
My older Shar Pei and Bam Bam got along immediately.
Unfortunately he was in a hoarding situation and has some fears he needs help with. This extends to new people and animals. The world is a scary place to him as he has never experienced it before. He likes his comfort people and zone but I have been working with him along with the help of a trainer. He is so sweet when he is comfortable in his surroundings. He has some toy guarding but only with his favourite toy ( which is being worked on). He needs a patient owner who will go slow and train with positive reinforcement methods to build his confidence.
I have been witnessing has slow growth which should go quicker as he gains experiences and confidence.
He would need a very slow and proper introduction to other dogs.
I think a home with no young children is where he would thrive and become a devoted and loving companion.
