Connor just turned a year old and is very sweet and easy going.  He's a couch potato and loves to snuggle.  He is a blank slate with a willingness to learn.    We are working on house training with a doggie door, he seems to be accustomed to going for walks.  He is very patient with young children, but they do seem to make him quite nervous.  He may do better with older children, that are quieter.
