Giovanni is the engaging little fellow who can disarm even the most discerning individual with his charm and lovability. His personality is such that he knows no strangers. Everyone is his best buddy and he greets them with a smile and kiss. Not only is Giovanni a wonderful boy but he has dashing good looks; like a mini James Dean, although he is a rebel with a cause: to find a forever family who will love him as much as he loves them. Someone who likes to walk, as he is quite energetic; he has excellent leash manners and heels automatically.
Giovanni loves to play with stuffed animals or roll around and wrestle with you. He is quite fond of belly rubs, but if you want to scratch his ears, he adores that too. Giovanni rides well in the car. He will either sit in your lap or sit on the passenger side and watch you drive. He gets along fairly well with his canine counterparts, especially those that are his size or not much bigger, but is a little nervous with dogs that are a lot bigger then he is so proper introductions is a must to get them started off on the right paw. Gio also seems to have an interesting pee stance and will pee while standing on his front two paws butt up in the air. He does do some marking so his new person will need to be patient and continue to work on this behavior.
Giovanni is most definitely a lover not a fighter and you will not be short on kisses with this little man in your life.
