Likes: Long walks, cuddling on the sofa with a blanket, cheese, apples, butt scratches and behind-the-ear scratches. Zoomies when wet.
Dislikes: Skateboarders, feet being touched when he’s relaxing, held for a long time, in the snow or wind. Does not like sweaters but will tolerate them. What would be the ideal home? Any home where people are around to give him attention goes potty in the house when left alone for too long. Likes being around people but not when they are crowding him. I think a home with another laid-back dog would be good to entertain him.
Good with other cats? unknown
Good with dogs? yes
Good with children? unknown
Temperament Laid-back and active.
Motivators? Treats.
Any commands? No
House trained? For the most part, only ever goes poop overnight if he is not walked right before bed.
Crate trained? Yes but sometimes refuses to go into his crate.
How long will it take to settle into a new environment? A few days
Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? Gets overstimulated if too many people around, don`t hold him in your arms for more than 10 minutes he will get uncomfortable. When walking him, do not pull him with the leash, he will go static and stand there. Take walks slow, he likes to sniff and interact with nature.
Medical: Doesn`t have very many teeth!
