Have you ever wished for a dog that's both prettier AND smarter than you? What about a dog that KNOWS he's prettier and smarter than you and expects you to act accordingly? If so, look no further! Chip is 1 year old, 29lbs, and kind of a jerk. This guy loves to swim, play with other dogs, and allow you to admire him. Once you're in his inner circle, he also loves to have his luscious curls brushed and styled and his chin scratched. Chip has tried this adoption thing out a couple of times already, and we've learned a few things about him: 1) It takes him a minute to get comfortable in a new space. With time and patience, he opens up and turns into a fun and loving companion - but the first week or two will likely be an adjustment period. 2) He does NOT like strangers telling him what to do. If he steals your lunch, that's because it was his lunch all along. Act accordingly! Once he knows and trusts you, he will allow you to reclaim your belongings. 3) Chip has a strict "nobody yells in the house except me" policy, meaning he CAN bark at you, but you CANNOT bark back. Deal's a deal. Chip may be a little bit rotten, but don't let that tough exterior fool you. On the inside, he is a big teddy bear who truly just wants to please his people.
