Mine is still a young pup, but seems very friendly. Gets along well with our other dog and cat (after receiving a swat on the nose!). Loves being around us...a little too much at times. Seems to listen much better than the bull breeds I'm used to.

Best dog I ever had. 10 years of great friendship. Very calm dog but also an amazing guardian. Easy going with kids and other pets I had.
