I know that you have gotten to know Scout quite well because he is at your house for boarding on a fairly regular basis. But, I will tell you a little of our experience.
We did not get Scout until 13 weeks old. He was easy to potty train. With that being said, it was a lot of work. I kept him on a leash for the first two months and worked hard to potty train and behavior train him. It took up a lot of my time!
Scout is the best dog! He sleeps in his kennel at night and is in there when we are not home. He never has accidents in the house. If he has to go to the bathroom, he just waits by the back door for someone to let him out.
He follows me around everywhere during the day. The kids are excited to see him EVERY SINGLE AFTERNOON. I thought the novelty of the dog would wear off, but it never has. He comes with me everyday to pick them up from school and they attack him with hugs and kisses. He rarely barks. The only times he does is when the door bell rings and when he is playing with the dog across the fence. They run along the fence, (they can see each other) playing for hours. It's cute.
Scout knows a ton of tricks and listens to us very well. He loves to play tug of war and fetch and to be chased. He goes around with his toy searching for people to play with him. He just pushes his toy up against your leg until you throw it. He gets lots of exercise with six people willing to play and chase him each day.
Scout did have a problem with eating his food too fast. We got him a slow feeder bowl and continue to feed him three times a day rather than two, and now he does great. He never throws up his food anymore.
Scout never grew very big. I would love to hear how big his siblings are. He was the runt! He only weighs 25 pounds, but is strong and extremely fast. We love him just the size he is. It is hard to get a good picture of him because of his black hair and black eyes. But, we constantly get comments on what a beautiful dog he is. People love his soft, non-shedding coat of hair. We call him our life-sized stuffed animal.
I would never believe that I could love a dog, but Scout has my heart! He is a great family dog. Calm when he needs to be calm, playful, non-aggressive (great with toddlers and kids), and well behaved. I attached pictures!
This is the response from Alen about Adi
We are so happy that you reached out to us. Buying a puppy is stressful because there are so many scammers and money grabbers out there that it is scary. We loved driving out to your property and wish we were your neighbors out there.
Our puppy (Adi) is a fantastic dog. It was stressful in the beginning and we came close to maybe giving him away because of the training involved, school and work shedule.
He has grown into a big, muscular handsome dog. He is just the right size for what I was wanting. He picked me as his "pack leader " and follows me around everywhere and I love it especially because our previous two dogs had picked my wife. He DOES NOT shed one bit. I often joke that my wife sheds more than he does. He gets baths about once every three months but even when he is wet he does jot have any "wet dog odor".
He is kennel and house trained and we have no problems with him anymore.
He is a big chewer and goes thru chew toys like paper. It has never even crossed his mind to chew on anything other than his toys or be destructive in other ways.
My now 4 year old abuses him pretty bad. She wrestles him, knocks him down puts her hands in his mouth and jumps all over him. He hasn't given us even the slightest indication of aggression towards that, not even a little bit. At the most he just walks away from her but he also likes it and the two play together all the time.
We were a little afraid that because we have no fenced yard that he would not do well. Instead of the fenced yard we do have a large house so he plays in the basement and up/down the stairs. When its time to play he plays, when its time to relax he is fine with that too. He is very used to a "slower" life style and he didn't seems to mind it.
He loves the water and is crazy about it. We live next to the lake in daybreak and he swims in it all the time. He loves fetch and loves bringing the ball back to me and he seems very proud of it.
He loves everyone and everything. From dogs at the dig park to random people. He lives everyone. But he is also a very good protector if the family as he is constantly on guard about what is going on outside.
He can not be trusted off leash yet and he is lucky that I cant catch him when he runs away in the rare occasions that I do let him off leash.
He loves car rides and I take him with me almost everywhere. As he gets older I have a feeling he will grow into one of dogs that are well behaved and you see walking behind their owners at stores.
We are very happy with our pick and we hope that he has a long, happy and healthy life.

This is the response from Brooke about Wilson
Wilson is doing awesome! He is the perfect family dog! This was his Christmas picture. We usually keep his hair a little longer but he had just been groomed. He weighs about 42 lbs.
He has the softest fur and does not shed at all. He is very social and loves all people and other dogs. He is very smart. We kennel trained him and he did great. We still kennel him when we will be gone for awhile but he loves his kennel and goes in there often on his own.
He sleeps with my son Max and they are best friends. He rings a bell we hung by the door when he needs to go potty. He shakes, fetches, loves to play and run. He is an awesome family pet!
He does like to get in the trash and is always scavenging for people food but we are working on those bad habits. He is a great dog. We have had zero health issues or concerns.
