Niko came to us as a stray.. he was originally microchipped but sadly his owner's didn't want him back.  His previous owner did say he nipped at the grand kids but so far in the few weeks we have had him- he's been nothing but a perfect gentleman! He gets along well with other dogs and cats (big and small) and all adults!  We would recommend a house with kids that are 10 years old and up, ONLY based on what his previous owner told us!  Niko is also potty trained and crate trained and ready to take up room on your couch, if you will let him!
