Rufus is such a handsome dog and has a calm and easy going personality with people. He is extremely people focused and for that reason he will need a new home where someone is at home a great deal of the time. Rufus will love you to death if given the chance! As he is a big, strong dog, he will be best in a home with no young children (early teenage and above).He also resource guards his food around other dogs and he is not really one to go to the park and interact with other canines and will definitely need to be the only dog at home. Rufus would not be suitable in a household with cats.
