I seemed to have found the EXACT OPPOSITE of every one else. My nieghbor has one of whom I see a lot. He is the most playful, great with kids, sweetest, smartest (FASTEST!!!!!) dog I have ever seen. He was so playful, always ready to give a little lick, and also, I want to say that my nieghbor has about an acre and a quarter of ground, and at anyrandom point of time( it was funny to watch, it was cute.)he would just TARE and I mean like, run, run fast. When he runs, its actulley a blur, you can't even see his legs moving, but he never would run away! He's very loyal , and loving, and VERY playful, NOT wanting to be pampered, but loving a friendly pat or two. Your so Lucky!!!!!
