An elegant gentleman with the refined manners to match, as long as there’s a treat waiting for him Sweet Tart’s happy to show off his perfect ‘come’, ‘sit’ and ‘stay’ and boy, does he LOVE other dogs! Large or small he’s thrilled to meet them all and his how-do-you-do greetings are so calm and easy that he’d be a welcome guest at any gathering.
