Bonehead still has a few good years left, he's 8 now. I've used him to track deer in the past and he was good at it. We're just too busy for him. He comes with rules that you'll have to give me your word on. No chains, no small pens, no running loose unless you have lots of land and live a long way from the road. He's in a one acre pen now that joins our back yard with access to our deck. He loves attention and playing with my 7 yr old.
