• Damien will sound the alarm when unfamiliar people enter the property but warms up to strangers quickly.
• Curious boy that likes to explore new things.

• Loves to chase balls and play with toys. He really enjoys play time but playful bursts are normally short.
• Gets a little protective of high valued items, such as bones.

Owner Suitability

• Fenced yard is a must as his love for exploring may cause him to stray.
• Experience with large breeds, specifically Rottweiler’s, is preferred.
