Stan is such a people dog. Always wants to be in the same room as you. I haven't heard him bark yet at all. (I would like to hear him once just to see how he sounds:). If you pet him, I think he would lay by you for hours. He is quite a calm boy. He seems to know the come command and when you say "ah ah" he stops what ever he is doing and looks up at you. No accidents in the home so far. No chewing. Hasn't bothered anything. Just likes to hang out with you. He sleeps quietly in a crate all night.
