Story
Behaviors: Mule is gentle and sweet. Sometimes loud noises or abrupt gestures make him back up and lie on his tummy. He is still learning that he's safe now.
Cats: indifferent
Other dogs: comfortable, sometimes curious, usually indifferent
Children: loves children
Adults: loves adults, greets visitors
Potty Training Progress: Work in progress, needs a committed home to continue his training
Other behavioral info: Mule doesn't bark unless resident dogs bark, then he joins in. Watch carefully for sticks and other unsafe small chewable items. He does great if he has a Nylabone or other toys meant for safe chewing.
Great things about Mule:
This buddy is a lover! He climbs all over the humans, brings stuffies for fetch, is amazing on a leash and in the car, allows belly bands and harness to be put on easily, behaves at the vet, he's curious and calm, and he tolerates baths and grooming. Foster is brushing and removing old mats daily, because poodles do require frequent grooming. Adopter will need to have or establish a relationship with a groomer.
Other things to know about Mule:
Mule gets jealous! He's being fostered with three resident dogs his size, and when anybody is getting pets, he will try to gently but firmly insert himself. When other dogs are playing with toys, he chases the toys fastest, and brings them to the foster family. He wants to please his people. We practice waiting his turn by making him last in line for treats each time, and he is doing well. Mule also prefers to sleep with humans- kids or adults- as opposed to his kennel.
