Major can be slightly more serious than playful at first, and appears to prefer to be without some other K-9 companions. However, with the proper amount of time spent on an introduction anything is possible. Major weighs in at an impressive 77 pounds. We say impressive because he looks like a one hundred pounder. Major is thick of build, broad of chest and well suited for outdoor activities. Major walks well on a leash, but additional work will be required. It appears he knows his commands, but will only show you what he knows once you & he have bonded. He comes across as being slightly aloof, but that's just his way of handling the stress of kennel living. His aloofness is only a front however… he really is a “major” ham-bone! Major isn't a candidate for a home with cats. He will excel with a dominant person who is willing to invest some quality time with him!
