*GENERAL OBSERVATIONS:

Quincy is a big teddy bear who is never far out of your sight. He's chill for such a young dog. Long body and can jump very well...this should be limited. Knows how to sit and comes when called. Plays well with both small, young dogs as well as older, big dogs...gets along with everyone. 

Has a medical condition, which is under control and may be temporary--isn't congenital--called megaesophagus. Many breeds get this; basically the dog regurgitates what they eat and drink due to a ballooning at the bottom of their esophagus. Like, when you eat too fast and it comes back up. Quincy has been to a couple of veterinarians and the meds seem to be working. We've also elevated his feeding and gradually introduced a slow feeder and a slow waterer and the improvement has been phenomenal. 

This loveable Frenchie just wants his own hooman again to love and snuggle on him. He'll give lots of kisses, and you'll have your own private bathroom guard.
