Hi. My name is Franklin, they call me Frankie for short. I'm about 1-year old and 60 pounds, but pretty lean looking. I don't think I will get much bigger but might fill out more. I will bark if someone comes to the door and if I hear strange, loud noises. Oh, and sometimes I will talk back. I'm completely potty trained and if you are not paying attention to me when I go to the door, I will let out a little bark to get your attention! I sleep all night – my preference is to sleep with my human on the bed but I will sleep on the rug by the bed. When I am on the bed, I curl up at the foot of it and don't move much until my human starts to get up. I don’t especially like my crate. They keep trying to teach me that it is a safe space. There are times that I will go in it and lie down all by myself and when they tell me to kennel up I know what that means and I go in, but try to get right back out. I do like the treats that they give me when they tell me to kennel up though. I like tennis balls and Kongs and ropes to tug and chew on. I really like the toys that treats are put in and I have to work to get them out! I have lived with cats in the past and I was fine with them then. I love going for walks and I'm getting better each and every day walking on the leash - sometimes heeling and sometimes just a loose leash so I can do lots of smelling as I am living out in the country right now and there are lots of different smells out here. I know how to sit and lie down. I do know the word "come" - most of the time. I also am working on learning the word "stay ." I'm working on not jumping up on my people when I get excited. I am not food aggressive, at least when it comes to my people taking my food - not sure how I will be with another dog but in the past I was fine. I am good on car rides. And just one more thing - I don't like being alone. I love having my people around!
