Max Boy is a big, soft handsome guy. He has medium-length fur that is mostly tan, with some white here and there. He has a long snout and a black nose. Max has curious brown eyes, expressive eyebrows and ears that are a little darker than the rest of him. His tail has a bit of black on it and a little curl. He has a tall, athletic build. He's a gorgeous dog.

Max Boy always has a friendly, happy-to-meet-you expression on his face. A young, energetic dog who loves outdoor adventures, he is good on the leash and likes to ride in the car. He'll go with you anywhere!

Max is still learning what is and isn't his in the house, but is completely house-trained and loves his crate. Despite his endless yearning for your shoes, he doesn't tend to chew things up. He knows some basic commands and needs someone who will continue to work with him on those. He is big and strong, and because he is young and still not sure what is expected of him, he'll need someone who can handle a large dog.

Max is really smart and wants to please. He is easily redirected with a treat or a toy. However, because he is young and still learning his house manners, he needs someone who has prior experience with dog training. He gets along great with all other dogs and would love to have a medium to large dog to play with and help teach him the rules of the road.

Max bonds quickly and enjoys the company of his humans. He is sweet and good-natured. Max will be your best friend!
