He's a sweet gentleman that really loves to being groomed and can stand there for hours and just want more more and even more. If you stops to brush or scratch him, he surely will give you the evil eye that tells you how unhappy he was when you quitted to brush/scratch, and even better will it be if you feed him with peppermints that he really loves at same time. He was with an accident as a youngster that he got hitted by a soccerball that came really wrong from a field there some kids played around, so after that he's really scared for balls so be aware of that and try to avoid places that it might be balls.
