Expect at least 90 minutes of movement in the morning, along with regular potty breaks and stimulating play throughout the day. Given his playful nature, he does enjoy socializing with other dogs and is also kind to cats, making him a well-rounded companion. However, his playful spirit means he may not be suitable for households with very young children. It's crucial that any interactions are supervised, as he can be mouthy during play. Potty training is underway, and he's learning quickly, but consistency and patience will be key as he develops his skills.
