Admirable of you butch to give the dog a thoughtful home, were he possibly could have been passed on from pillar to post or worse, abused. Ignore the know it all idiots on here who will give their uneducated inexperienced opinions to try and belittle you. You did the right thing by the dog and yourself, work him or not, he has a cracking home i believe. Those with their smart comments couldn't do right by a dog like that. Good luck with him and keep us posted, well "us" that are truely interested.
