They are often spirited little companions who bond closely with their families and thrive in homes that provide engagement and consistency. With proper structure and activity, they make devoted and entertaining lifelong companions. Kyrus’s Story & Personality: Kyrus is a stunning young boy with a bright spirit and lots of energy to share. He is still working on house training but is crate trained and settling into routines nicely. Once fully housebroken, he can be left alone for reasonable periods. He can walk on a leash and is improving every day, but he will need continued guidance and consistency. Because of his high energy level, a securely fenced yard is important so he can safely burn off steam. He would do best in an energetic household that enjoys activity and engagement. Kyrus does well with other dogs and has an easygoing play style. He loves people and truly enjoys being part of the action. While he hasn’t yet been introduced to kids or cats, his friendly and social personality suggests he will thrive with proper introductions. He doesn’t care much for traditional toys — but give him a sock and he’s thrilled! At bedtime, he may cry or howl briefly when first crated, but he settles down quickly and sleeps well through the night. Kyrus would likely do best in a home where someone is around most of the time, as he enjoys companionship and engagement. With structure, patience, and plenty of activity, he will blossom into an incredible lifelong companion.
