POW
 
Tyler is a really big boy with a wonderful, playful and very attentive disposition who needs a loving home and lots of exercise. He seems alert and very interested in his surroundings. Tyler plays well with other dogs, loves to play ball and is also easily motivated by food, which should make training a snap. He is a very strong dog and will need some guidance with his leash manners but with consistency, rules and boundaries Tyler will thrive.
