She took him homes with intentions on keeping the dog, however her dog was a constant bully and attacked Toby daily. She held him at her house safely until we had a kennel here at the shelter for her to bring him in. Other Comments: Toby is a beautiful boy who needs to be the only dog in the family. He likes to be dominant and as such may not be good with other dogs. Toby is very active and when he is playing it’s said he has “dancing feet”. This is because as he waits for a ball to be thrown, a treat to be given his front feet tap quickly in anticipation. Toby needs lots of exercise as he has a lot of energy. Based on Toby’s size, breed and energy he needs an owner with experience and that has the ability to show Toby that the human is the pack leader. No cats or small animals for this boy and we don’t recommend small children.
