Name: Strudel
Age: 2 years
Weight: 46 lbs
Breed: Treeing Tennessee Brindle mix (a Cur-type breed)
🌟 Personality Snapshot
Strudel is an outgoing, joyful, people-loving guy who believes everyone is a friend he just hasn’t met yet. He thrives on playtime, family time, and being included in daily life. If something is happening, Strudel would like a front-row seat. 👀🐶
One of his best traits is how well he mirrors his environment — calm house? He relaxes. Playtime energy? He’s ready to go.
😄 Cute Quirk
Strudel is endlessly curious and always wants to know what’s going on. Yard activity, kitchen happenings, or anything remotely interesting — he’s invested.
⚠️ Not-So-Great Habits (Transparency Matters)
When excited, Strudel can be mouthy — he does not hurt, but he will gently grab hands and lick them.
He also jumps up when excited, mostly to see what’s happening (especially around the kitchen island). This is actively being worked on and improving with consistency.
Because of this, very small children may not be the best fit. Active adults, teens, or steady seniors would do just fine.
🎓 Training & Manners
Strudel is smart, eager, and very food motivated — which makes training enjoyable.
✔️ Sit
✔️ Waits his turn for treats
✔️ House trained & dog door trained
✔️ Crate trained
✔️ Comes when called (unless he’s deep into playtime)
✔️ Does not counter surf
✔️ Runs to the door but stops when told
🚗 Car rides have improved greatly — he now hops right in and is ready to go.
🍪 Motivation Level
⭐ Highly food motivated
Treats and mealtime are his love language.
🐕 Social Skills
✔️ Dog friendly
✔️ People friendly
He would love a dog friend, but it’s not required.
❤️ Favorite Things
🦴 Benebones
🎾 Playing
🚶 Walkies
🍽️ Mealtime
🛋️ Couch time with people, dogs, or both
🏡 Ideal Home
Strudel would thrive in any home that offers attention, interaction, and regular walks.
A securely fenced yard is strongly recommended, as he can get distracted by activity or critters.
