Our Chase is incredibly patient and polite! He's been a gentleman and a compassionate, loving dog since he was 8 weeks old. He LOVES hugs and kisses and is very affectionate. He learns most things in four or five repetitions. I don't know how they socialize these pups to be so exceptional in just eight weeks, but our dog is clearly the result of good treatment and generations of great breeding. He's been a blessing and hasn't caused us any trouble whatsoever.
