Oscar

Not suitable for young children due to jumping up and mouthing.
Single dog home because of no social skills which could lead to a tiff.
Hi my name is Oscar. I came from a pound so not much is known about me apart from the behavioural assessment, some of the notes are below.
I haven’t had any training but do know how to sit. so I really need someone to be patient with me and take me to obedience school which is a must so if you’re not willing to do that then please don’t apply for me.
