With impressive zeal for his age, he enjoys an active lifestyle but also appreciates downtime snuggled next to those he loves. Smart and proud of it, Mochi has undergone formal obedience training and knows his basic commands, impressing everyone with a delightful roll over.

His ideal home is free of young children but would suit adults and respectful school-age kids. While he gets along with cats, he can be choosy around other dogs, especially larger males, so playdates must be approached delicately. Mochi has a unique sensitivity to animals on screen, leading to strong reactions, so it’s best to have him in another room during TV time.
