Great pet that needs someone who is home more often than we are. Awesome with people and other dogs. Protective of our property, and has a massive bark. Our 2 year old daughter climbs all over him, and he loves the attention. If you have time and desire to give him a good home, but have an issue with the $500, send me an email and we can try to work something out. A good home is more important than the money. We paid for him. He has a cool mustache too
