More: Barney is a loyal, gentle soul and a perfect companion for our growing family of four. He starts each day by giving us a hug, and he won’t take a walk unless the whole family comes along. When he does go out, he is the center of attention and an automatic conversation starter. He has a show dog pedigree, but he doesn’t let that stop him from rolling in the gravel at nearby construction sites, or even dirt and sand, wherever it can be found. His favorite places are the beach and cold trout streams.
