Rip is the most loving and affectionate dog! He thrives on lots of love and attention. Rip loves any kind of water, especially the pool. He always walks around with his toys in his mouth and enjoys playing catch. Rip is a very good guard dog and very protective. He just needs a few minutes to warn up to new people, but once he does he will love them forever. He gets along with other dogs, and just needs time to warm up to them as well. Rip is approximately 2 years old and would do best with a family with older kids or with a single person who could give him all the love and attention he needs.
