Marty is an independent boy who takes a little while to warm up to a new person, unless you have food treats, in which case you are his new best friend. He enjoys walks and checking out new things,but is not overly playful or excitable. He would be ok if his owner owner worked fulltime once he was settled in his new home. Social with other breeds of dogs of all sizes, he listens well once he has bonded, he will make a loyal pet.
