Brooklyn lived with a small male dog and was respectful and playful with the other animal. When Brooklyn would see large breed dogs outside, he would want to play. Brooklyn has never been exposed to cats so behavior around them is unknown. Brooklyn does not have a bite history.
Behavior:
Previous owners stated that Brooklyn does have a habit of peeing indoors and it was due to the puppy needing training.
