Dumpling is an excited and ready to go buddy! He is happy to play, loves fetch, going on long walks and being with people. He knows Sit, Lay Down, Spin, Speak and can surely learn even more to show off. Dumpling is Crate trained, mostly house trained, enjoys the car, and an expert at stairs. I lived with dogs in my foster home and may do well with yours I find cats a little TOO interesting, your cat may not appreciate my company I don't have a history with children but may do well with supervision and management
