Usually, when we share pictures of Ben, it’s him doing bitey, fly-through-the-air things. But this time, we caught him being a polite and sweet boy while getting his photo taken! Sure, he might have accidentally knocked our photographer over, but we’ll just leave that little adventure out of the frame! Ben is an amazing stud dog. He produces the most excellent puppies, and just a heads up; we think we will be seeing Ben puppies hanging around this summer.
