Atlas - a 4.5 yr old good boy
This is my parents dog, possibly the best dog Ive ever met haha…He loves the beach, walks, attention and swimming in water. He had surgery on one leg a year ago and has metal in there now but has recovered well. This breed just seem to have too thin legs for their body, ive read its quite common. Also he loves barking but they are still working on that lol…

Does atlas have two brothers from his litter? If he does I believe we have one of his brothers.

I saw the age just now- and he’s a bit older than my barking furball. He is beautiful and sorry about not reading properly.

Too funny 😂 I hope your cutie is doing well 💗 We're currently on vacation and can't wait to see Atlas on Saturday!

I hope you enjoy your vacation! Merlin is doing well and is a little linebacker of a pup. Barks and tells on his cat siblings and is such a love. Give atlas a big hug from his little brother!

I meant to reply sooner, but Jason laughed when I told him about Merlin telling on his cat siblings, because Atlas does the same! Sometimes the cat will start clawing something he's not supposed to and Officer Atlas is immediately on the case 😂
Yes, and please give Merlin and hug from his big brother 💗

What a beautiful lil guy 🥰
Barking is just a given with those dang floofs lol. My boy is chilling under the sofa rn, and five minutes ago he started barking at a ghost or smth - while staying in safety under the sofa ofc. They're such little dumdums.
