Description:

Rex is a big, handsome boy with surprisingly easy leash manners. Despite his size, he walks calmly without pulling and takes treats very gently—clearly a polite gentleman who is also very treat motivated.He is absolutely stunning, inside and out, and brings a great sense of humor with him. After going potty, Rex feels very strongly about covering his work and enthusiastically kicks dirt everywhere. Need a four-legged tiller for your yard? Rex has you covered. ??Rex enjoys fetch and plays nicely—no guarding at all. He’ll happily replace his ball for a treat, showing off both his good manners and his eagerness to engage with his handler. He was adventurous and confident when trying out the ramp and approached new experiences with curiosity and enthusiasm.He’s a solid mid-energy boy who enjoys playtime but knows when he’s done.
