Barker was rescued in my housing area, found barking at everyone in sight (probably out of fear). He's a very confident dog & is a great guard dog as well (being a spitz mixed), ie alerting you there are strangers nearby. He's got a beautiful shiny coat of long, soft hair. Loves to balance on his 2 feet & is very gentle to people who love him. He's a small eater, so won't break your bank.
