Story: Xander came into MPR's care malnourished, out of shape and in dire need of loving care. That was then! He has blossomed into a gorgeous hunk with a great big-boned body and big blocky head. His beautiful chocolate coat is quite shiny and healthy. Xander is a real head-turner and he knows it.

Foster Situation: Xander lives with 2 female pit bulls and 1 male pit bull. He gets along great with the girls but would rather be the only king in the house. All 4 dogs do get along, even the boys, but under strict supervision.
Xander has learned a ton of new commands, and will now listen to directions with no problem. He loves to romp in the yard with the whole family, and likes to just lay in the sun. He is very friendly to visitors and likes children.
We take X-man to Lowe's, Petsmart, and on car rides. He is such a flirt, and everyone he meets is his new best friend. He likes to go for walks, and went to the lake with us last week. He absolutely LOVES to swim - We even got a pool for the dogs in the backyard and Xander doesn't miss an occasion to play in the water.
Though very playful and energetic, Xander has really become a well-balanced dog.
Xander sleeps on a blanket on the floor with the other dogs and likes to cuddle with them.
Xander would do well in a home with a friendly female.

Training: Xander has been to formal training at "The Dog's Spot" and is also trained at home. He knows sit, stay, come, lay down, easy, home, up, say hi, go get it (fetch), pay attention (look at me), and watch. He will do anything for a treat, but it's not always necessary. He is happy with a pat on the head too. He is housebroken, but is subtle when he needs to potty. Usually he will just sit at the door and wait to be let out, but if he really needs to go, he will whine. He likes his crate and likes when the girls sleep in it with him.
Personality: Xander is a one-man party. He will go in the yard and jump around by himself. It is hilarious. He is a moderately laid back guy and knows when it's play time and when it's relax time. He loves to play with new toys, and loves tug-of-war. His favorite thing in the whole world is to chew is a cow hoove. That's the only thing that will last long enough for him!
Xander is very enthusiastic with his greeting visitors but we are working on it. He just loves people so much that sometimes he cant contain his joy. He does calm down though, and regain his composure after a few minutes. He definitely enjoys life to its fullest is is always ready for the next adventure!
Best Attribute: X-man will steal your heart! He is so much fun, and reminds you of what it was like to be a kid. He is so happy that you can't look at him and not smile. When he is sleepy, his hazel eyes turn bright green, and he will try and try to stay awake with you. When he finally falls asleep, you may end up with a little drool on your feet! Sometimes he dreams about running and his front feet will move like he is actually running, it is so funny! He is so much fun at the lake, running around and chasing the other dogs. He is so funny when he swims, because of his long legs, he actually doggie-paddles and his feet come way out of the water, splashing everyone.
