Mario is a very good dog with an incredibly sweet disposition. He’s got a good deal of flat-coated retriever in him, and I’d guess a bit of shepherd as well. He has some arthritis in his back legs and takes medication which help him tons and keep him very nicely mobile.
He loves taking long walks with our dog and is extremely well behaved on the leash. He has learned his new name along with a few other commands over the couple of weeks that we’ve been fostering him. He has been an absolute sweetheart with us, our teenager and our dog. He’s also done wonderfully with our backyard chickens - he is very calm, gentle, and slow around the coop. He was also a superstar at our New Year’s Eve party. He loved greeting all of our guests and soaking up as many head scratches as folks could dole out!
The only physical challenges that we’ve seen Mario have so far are multiple stairs (a couple are no problem) and getting into the car (because of his back legs). Mario was a little overly enthusiastic to meet the cat at first, but has since calmed down around him and is making improvements every day.
