Notes: Darwin is an active enthusiastic boy, three to five years old, who loves to take walks and smell all the good smells along the way. He does need to learn better leash manners because he is likely to take off in a direction the person with him did not intend to go. He is trying very hard to be house trained but does not always get outside in time. Darwin should be fine with children because he is very even-tempered and does not tend to jump. He looks forward to a home with a big fenced yard where he can do lots of running and another dog or some kids to play with, and people who will give lots of belly rubs when he is inside.
