Macho has spent the last 22 weeks in training with the Puppies for Parole Program, he has finally GRADUATED!! And looking for his new forever home. Macho has excelled in his training and learned all kinds of tricks! Here is what we have all learned about this amazing boy! 1. He would do best with dogs his size (no small dogs or cats) 2. Rember to take a look at his DNA results, as his breeds play a role in some of qualities 3. He is easily distracted by birds.... Bees... Butterflies!
