This ball of energy is smart, quirky, and full of love.
🐶 Dog-Friendly – Loves to play and happily joins in with other pups
🐱 Cat-Tolerant – Gets along fine with the resident cat
👧 Best with Older Kids – Enjoys older children; does best with supervision and clear boundaries around little ones
🪑 Knows His Basics – Can “Sit” on command and listens well
🦘 A bit jumpy when excited, but corrects quickly and learns fast
🚙 Car Pro – Climbs in and out easily, rides calmly, and settles well
🏃♂️ Active & Athletic – Ran 5 miles without slowing down, and he prefers to be up front leading the way
🌊 Adventurous Spirit – Loves walks, jogging, and splashing in water (just not hoses!)
🛏️ Crate-Trained – Goes in willingly, rests quietly, and even naps there on his own
📏 Thrives on Structure – Responds beautifully to routines, commands, and leash training
🐕 Loves Social Time – Wants to greet everyone he meets, both people and dogs
💋 Affectionate – Big fan of kisses, praise, and sometimes half-climbing into your lap
🔊 Vocal at Times – Will bark at passing dogs, but easily redirected
🎭 Quirky Charm – Obsessed with AC vents, splashing in puddles, and digging just for fun
