Bear is the most funny, loving, playful dog we've ever had. He loves other dogs, and is very very social. He especially loves people .He always loves being played with and touched. He loves to play ball. Very smart, house trained in one day and taught to play ball in one day. Especially gentle with food. Not food motivated, but praise/love motivated. He is very much loved by his owners and has been doted on and loved since day 1.
