Notes: Knuckles is a playful friendly boy who loves to play with people and go on long walks. He walks fairly well on leash although he does pull when he gets excited. He should do fine with children as we have seen no signs of aggressive behavior. Knuckles gets along with other dogs but is sometimes a bit afraid of them. He is not yet house trained but does know some commands so should be easy to train. He is about eight months old and weighs about 55 pounds and should probably be 55-60 when full grown. Knuckles loves to play and is hoping for a forever home with a big fenced yard where he can run and play with some kids or a dog buddy and spend lots of time with his family getting belly rubs and ear rubs.
