Maybe I got an angel, I don't know - but Rowdy is a very good dog. I was very very firm with him when he was little(er) - he's only 9 months old. He does not bark excessively and when he does start barking at the lab next door - I only have to remind him "no bark" and he stops. He is not crazy, he minds me, but yes, he is a puppy and does get into things - that's expected. He is pretty calm so I think that I am lucky in that respect - he is not a bundle of energy - but he has the run of the house and yard every day - he can go in and out of our doggy door at will and so I suspect he uses up lots of energy that way so he's not crazed when I get home (my hubby is retired and home all day). Anyway, you will get lots of help and advice at YT to help you make your decision. I can only say that I never expected to fall in love with this little guy - but he has completely stolen my heart and I cannot imagine life without him.
