Yoda is a very happy, sweet, fun-loving dog. He absolutely loves to play and loves to snuggle up to his people. He always tries to rest his head on your leg or shoulder if he wants food or just be in your lap if he can. He uses his boxer mitts sometimes, pawing at us or other dogs when we get him excited during play time. He is a young boy approximately 1 - 2 years old and weighs approximately 46 lbs.
Here is what else his foster family had to say:
Yoda is very friendly with dogs and plays very well at the dog park. He runs and wrestles well with other dogs and is very aware of other dogs energy. He has never shown any aggression even if other dogs have snarled at him. His big tongue is constantly hanging out while he runs around with the other dogs playing tackle or chase.
Yoda whines for about 3 seconds after we leave the house before he finds something else to do. We are working on his house-training and is well on his way to being fully house trained. He now knows to stand at the door and whine when he needs to go out. He is going to need further training in obedience but he has the basics down such as sit, come, etc. He still needs work on some of his house manners but he listens well (when he is not trying to be a clown). We have not been using a crate and instead he has free roam of the apartment when we are here and when we are away. He hasn't gotten into anything he shouldn't other than carrying our shoes around for comfort I think.
We are currently living in an apartment and we have had no issues with Yoda being quiet which is wonderful. I think he would be much better suited however to a house with a yard so he can really run and play like he wants too. He is a dog that has a lot of energy and will need someone that is willing to ensure he gets the exercise he needs and the play time with other dogs. Otherwise he just wants to keep playing with you.
He has short coat and I have seen little signs of shedding. He is a very clean and easy kept dog in that regard.
Yoda is a very high energy dog who would do best in a house with another dog that loves to play/wrestle. He gets antsy even with daily visits to the dog park if he is alone all day and has no dog to wrestle with. He absolutely loves the dog park and plays very well with other dogs especially other boxers, or any breeds that like to wrestle around. I would highly recommend a house with another playful dog but I would not recommend a house with small dogs as he does not know his own size.
If you think Yoda would make a good addition to your family, please submit an application for consideration.
