Beneath all that animated energy, Widdle is a genuinely sweet dog who soaks up attention and enjoys being at the center of family life. He does best with structure, regular play, and outlets for his spark—it's important to note his energy stays "puppy-like" even as he matures, which makes him unique and endearing for someone ready to keep pace and appreciate his enthusiasm.
