More: Former show dog. Have had many dogs but Markie is the most gentle and affectionate. He is never more than five feet away from me. Knows how to learn. Eats anything. Can catch food from fifteen feet. Pees and poops on demand. Is known to perform both functions simultaneously! That's a new one. Wow. Very gentle with babies and other dogs. Every dog I've had is the best, Markie is no exception.
