Meet Magic!  He is a young, energetic and happy boy.  His tail never stops wagging.   He knows a few basic commands and will repeat them over and over for a treat.  We are working with him to respond to commands for praise and attention and he has been doing very well.  We are also working on new things like waiting at doors and for his meals which he is catching onto quickly.  He has had no potty accidents in the house and will go to the door when he wants to be let outside.   He gets along well with the two resident dogs and our 8 year old son.  He loves to run in the yard, rain or shine.  He needs a bit of coaxing into his kennel, but once he gets in, he does very well.  He is quiet all night even if one of us gets up in the middle of the night and moves around.

Magic does get very excited when guests come to the house and will bark and jump up to greet them.  We are working with him on this and slowly but surely he is understanding that this type of greeting is not ok and he will get more attention if he sits nicely.   He will need someone to work with him consistantly on this as he is big enough he could easily knock over small children.  He loves to explore the house and yard for anything new and interesting.  He will chew on new things so appropriate chew toys are kept readily available to redirect  him or keep him occupied.    
 
 Magic has been alot of fun to have in our home and truly is a love.  We are excited for him to find his furever home as he will make a lucky someone a wonderful companion.
