Nelson is the definition of a gentle giant at a lanky 75lbs. Heās a little shy and is still learning people are awesome. However - when youāre not looking, you may get sniper kissed or end up with a big Nelson head on your chest for neck and ear scratches. Heās got the potential to be a great snuggler and will usually crawl closer to you if you sit near his bed for maximum petting opportunity. Heās just figured out toys and seems to prefer crinkly toys to squeakers. He eats well from his bowl at his designated spot in the kitchen for breakfast and dinner and doesnāt seem to mind if the other dogs investigate his bowl when mealtimes are done. On walks, he doesnāt pull on the leash and tends to stick close to his human. He would probably benefit being in a home with another dog when his humans are gone because he does tend to follow their lead.
