I like to play soccer with the kids around here too. I would really love to have a family of my very own who will protect me from thunderstorms. As a matter of fact, Butch seems to harbor quite a grudge against small fluffy animals. He has done well with all the dogs at my house, but they are all 115 lbs and larger and they are all female. Since Butch was not neutered until this past fall, he is rather territorial with male dogs.
Butch is a beautifully behaved dog.
He walks well on leash and is completely and reliably housebroken. He has excellent house manners and does not cruise the countertops or chew destructively. He is very nervous with storms. He will sit as close to you as he can during a storm. If you aren't at home, he is going to weather the storm under a table or in a closet.
