Thanks to feed back and suggestions on this forum and other sources, I was able to find exactly what I wanted. Introducing.... "Bodacious", who's about a year old . He settled in well, and although he can be a bit hissy and puffy at times, so far he's all bark and no bite. He's eating well and JUST had his first shed since I got him.
I'd like to thank Nolan Turnbull in Manitoba for being patient and supporting me through "shipping jitters" and for a prompt and seamless purchase process.
