Arlo is a calm and affectionate dog. He loves riding in the car and we have been having play dates with my boyfriend's neutered female Pit/Border Collie mix, Tulip. He loves splashing in the pond and chasing frogs. He's great at fetching a ball and releases it easily. He sometimes forgets how big he is and has startled Tulip with some rougher play than she likes, but he does immediately back off with verbal prompts or when she growls. He's quite the athlete and runs circles around her and jumps completely over her. He does paw at you for attention, and we're still working on changing that into a shake command, but he will sit and lie down pretty reliably on command.
We're still working on his introduction to my cat, FaeFae. He's getting much better at ignoring her, but we still haven't had contact and there is always a barrier between them.
He still gets startled at sudden noises, and can get a little over-excited when someone signals play with him (like knocking into your legs trying to roughhouse). Altogether, he's a very calm dog in most situations.
Arlo needs a family familiar with large dogs. He would love to have a dog sibling and a fenced
yard to play in, but he does well on a long lead when we play in my unfenced yard. I think he would eventually be ok with cats, but still seems like he would love to chase them. Older children who would not startle him and are aware of his size would be best. He loves attention and cuddles, so he would be a great couch companion.
