This is Howie (A.K.A Low Rider)   Don't let his tough dog exterior fool you.  Howie gives kisses and snuggles at your feet during his down time.  He loves other dogs, and loves people of all sizes.  He is crate trained, and his only mischief includes stealing socks left on the floor.  He has quite a bit of energy and would be best in a forever home with other dogs who can keep up with his olympic training routine of running around the yard.  But at bedtime, he prefers to be in his cushioned crate where he can get all his beauty sleep without being bothered.  He is in search of a family who appreciate occasional howling and drooling that dogs of his breed can offer.
