Cricket is a driven, affectionate shepherd who thrives on close bonds with his people. He’s goofy and playful, but also loves his downtime and is quick to curl up for a cuddle. Cricket learns fast and has completed a four-week board and train. In public, he’s well behaved and typically friendly, though sometimes needs a slightly slower introduction to new people. He gets along well with other dogs—especially those who enjoy active play—and would do best either with another playful pup or a calm housemate who gives him space when needed. Cricket sometimes guards special treats or bones and may get possessive around doors and gates, but with clear structure and rules he does very well. He will thrive with a confident, consistent owner willing to keep those boundaries in place. Cricket has a lot of heart and, in the right home, will be a loyal, fun, and devoted companion.
