About Chiquito

Meet Chiquito, a charming and exuberant 1-year-old dog weighing 65 pounds. Despite his name, he's a big-hearted Border Collie with Newfoundland roots, and he brings a vibrant energy to life. Chiquito thrives on play and companionship, always ready for a new adventure. Although he maintains a medium energy level, his excitement can lead him to be a bit pushy during greetings—he loves to make friends, both human and canine. He’s had some experience with other dogs, but slow introductions are essential for him to connect well. Since he hasn’t been around children or cats, a household with experienced owners or older kids who can handle his enthusiasm would be a perfect match. Chiquito is still mastering his leash manners; he can pull when he's excited. However, with patience and positive reinforcement, this intelligent boy is set to learn and grow. If you appreciate big-hearted dogs and are prepared to guide Chiquito into becoming the best companion he can be, he'll be thrilled to meet you!
