Frankie one big hunk of love.   He is active!  Loves to run and play outside with his siblings.   Loves tennis balls and tug-a-war.   

Frankie is a cuddle bug who has been spoiled rotten and loves to sleep on the bed snuggling close. 

He is very attentive and bright. Frankie is very loving and responds to love and affection and positive reinforcement.

Frankie is eager to please - loves being with his family.  He is  a loving gentle dog.    He knows basic command.  Wiggles his little behind when called, knows Sit,  potty, bed, and of course treat.   He understands "Share".. but sometimes decides to ignore that command!     He is a favorite in the household!

Frankie will do well in a house with older children and at least 1 other dog his energy level.  Frank doesn't tolerate puppy energy well.  Not recommended for families with children under 8.  

Frankie does NOT Kennel, but is also not destructive.  Frankie is house broken and has full access to house and yard through a doggie door.
