circumstances, was being left for very long periods.<br \/>\nThis has made Zero a little on the anxious side but is fine left for short periods.<br \/>\nHe has not been destructive in his foster home.<br \/>\nHe settles well at night and is house trained.<br \/>\nZero is 10 months old and an extremely handsome chap.<br \/>\nHe measures about 24\u201d and will possibly grow a little more.<br \/>\nHe knows basic commands and is quite food orientated so will be easy to bring on.<br \/>\nZero will benefit from further training and socialisation.<br \/>\nWe have introduced a halti and he walks beautifully with this.<br \/>\nHe is an extremely energetic dog and will need a couple of walks a day.<br \/>\nHe has been running in his foster home and would happily run the London Marathon twice!<br \/>\nZero is due to be neutered next week and he is up to date with his vaccinations.<br \/>\nHe is a very friendly boy and has come from a home with young children.<\/p>\n<p
