Arthur needs a dog-savvy, energetic owner as he can be a brat if he thinks he can get away with it... however with a bit of daily exercise and a confident dog handler he is actually a really nice dog.. he just likes to pull on leash and jump all over if you let him. He also needs to be the only pet in the home as he wasn't socialized properly with other dogs in his last home. He is great with cats though! If you like a challenge then perhaps you would appreciate a diamond in the rough like Arthur.
