A little about them

Ben is a beautiful, boisterous, fun young pup who is housetrained, walks well on leash, and rides great in a car. He loves daily swims and is a kennel favorite with a sweet, energetic personality. Ben can become amped up and mouthy when overly excited, so he will thrive with experienced guidance and plenty of exercise.

Ideal Home

Ben needs an experienced dog person who can provide lots of exercise and a fenced yard. Because of his energy, he is not recommended for a home with young children. He appears tolerant of other dogs but would ideally be the only dog in the home.

Ongoing Health

Ben enjoys daily swims in the GRRAND pool and has no reported health conditions.
