He has a nice balance of independence & cuddle time.

Carter is still working on leash manners & can pull, but he’s been making steady progress. He’s also improving with food-guarding behaviors through consistent training & management. He would do best in a home with older, respectful children & calm, well-mannered dogs who respect boundaries. Carter isn’t a fan of pushy dogs & prefers companions who mind their business.
