A sweet and playful little pup who’s curious about everything you’re doing and wants to be a part of it. He greets you with the happiest tail wags, loves giving kisses and is always ready to play. He’s still gaining confidence in the world but has all the ingredients to be the best little sidekick. He’s got some cute little quirks where his ear will flip back when he’s been roughhousing until you help him flip it back. At nap time he somehow manages to spill out of his crate.
