At approximately 1 1/2 years old, Howie is an overgrown puppy! He loves to chase balls, sticks, laser light beams and his favorite rubber squeaky toy. He’s also perfectly happy cuddling on his blanket, although he’d prefer to be in your lap (he thinks he's smaller than he is!) He loves to cuddle and will let you rub his belly for as long as you want :)

Howie is house trained and crate trained. Best of all, for an overgrown puppy he’s amazingly non-destructive. He’s also a quick learner and knows the commands “sit,” “lay down,” “paw,” and “no.”
