Star is playful, affectionate, intelligent, and energetic. He has expressive eyes and a sweetly mischievous disposition. He is always looking to learn or play, and he loves to work on new skills and tricks -- and to show them off! He melts into cuddles and belly rubs. He may look regal when running or bounding along -- but as soon as you get to know him his playful and silly spirit, and his eagerness to please, shine through and are what really define his personality. He has a quizzical face tilt to rival all others! Star's best day would include an opportunity for one or two long walks or runs, a chance to practice some of his new tricks, and lots of snuggles and belly rubs to let him know what a good boy he is!

Star will thrive in a place where he can be a single pet or where there is a very established dog to help show him the ropes. As a very intelligent "working dog" Star needs to have a job, and training/learning is a great challenge to stimulate him. Star has been going to weekly training classes-and he is a STAR.
