Mr. Ace is black with tan & white markings and medium-length soft and silky fur. He has the most amazing eyes: one blue and the other blue and brown.

Ace always has a smile on his face, and is very, very loving and sweet. I have absolutely loved fostering him. A large breed, he doesn’t seem big because of his temperament and attitude. He doesn’t realize he is too big to be a lapdog! Although Ace is fine around other dogs, he needs a home without other pets or young children (we just don’t know how he would do).

He is a gentleman with impeccable indoor manners, is crate-trained and house-trained, and is not a chewer.

Ace is the perfect combination of lean and athletic and soft and cuddly. He is medium-energy. He loves playing ball and tug-of-war and going on walks, and does well walking on leash. Ace can be silly and crazy when playing outside. He is super-fun and is such a great friend and companion.

Ace has been an only dog his whole life, so he is really engaged with his humans. Super-smart, he is the ultimate listener and knows all of his commands. Ace wants to please and is always looking for direction. It truly is like having another person around.
