Hi, I'm Max! I'm a very loving and affectionate, but also very high energy, dog. I'm very typical for my breed in that I love to chase anything that moves and often try to heard people when there is nothing else around. I should do well with supervised children ages 15 years and older. I love to chase people and often try nipping at heels if no one is running; this is the herding dog tendency in me. I also tend to jump on people and love to play with my mouth. The more excited I get the rougher I get. I would be best with a family that understands my breed and knows how to entertain and exercise me in a safe manner. I will need someone who has the time and patience to work with me on better manners and can give me a more acceptable outlet for my behavioral needs. Because I love to chase things I need to have a fenced yard. I have been around dogs before and did well most of the time. I would be best with dogs who are the same size as myself. I have been around cats before but had a tendency to chase them so would do best without cats in my new home. Are you a fun-loving and adventurous family that has what it takes to keep up with me?
