ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: BJ came from rural Virginia where he was living outside in a dog pen. He seems to have some sight issues but is very sweet and is easy to handle. We still have a lot to learn about them and will be happy to share more as soon as we have more information!

BJ is super intelligent and enjoys long guided walks at a brisk pace + frequent stops to sniff! He is also super friendly and respectful of our small resident chihuahua. His winning and playful personality would make him a great fit even in homes with other dogs.

While BJ is good with other dogs, he is a resource guarder. Toys and treats should be given separately from other animals.
