Brokk loves to play fetch and will retrieve a ball all day long if you have the energy to keep up with him. He will probably be fine with older children.Brokk has the potential to be a happy, confident dog in the hands of an adopter that can be a good pack leader and set appropriate boundaries and limitations.
