I'd trust you to work your magic on him for a couple of years, after which time he'd have grown into his head and transformed into a super smexy ponio.
My gosh, I had to do a double take as it looks exactly like my now 3 year old looked at 18 months!! He now has filled out after lots of haylage and baileys no.4.
Just turn it away and wait! He has got a sweet face despite the ears so someone will love him! (good job we don't look at people like that, half of us would be put down!)
Well well well, I could have done a guess the breed on that! I thought he looked like a forester, and then you confirm it with his sire's name. What's your lad's full name then? What a handsome boy he is...
