Calm on my approach to his kennel. Eager to get outside and pulled hard on the leash. Once outside he pottied multiple times immediately. Had to cut his time short as yard was needed. Took him back. Spent time with him in kennel and he calmed down right away. Complete love bug who solicited pets and sat politely when waiting for them. Did solicit more pets by pawing at me when I stopped scratching him. Seems to know the sit command well and likes treats. Seemed like Togo, once he gets minimal exercise, calms down. Would seem to do best in a physically active household. 08/15/26 Easy Going Good on Leash 08/16/26 Easy Going Good Manners;Good on Leash Social (Dogs);Social (People);Loose/Wiggly Body Wants to Sniff 08/21/26 Easy Going Good on Leash;Good Manners;Pottied Immediately Social (People) Warms Up;Vocal;Wants to Sniff; Wants to Cuddle Oreo is such a gentle, easygoing boy. He pottied immediately once outside and walks very nicely on leash. He definitely has a love for cheese and isn't afraid to use his voice when he has something to say! Oreo appears tolerant of other dogs but prefers to keep to himself rather than engage. He'd be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a sweet, independent pup with a little personality to share. 08/23/26 Medium Energy Good on Leash;Knows Sit;Pottied Immediately;Good Manners Social (People) Vocal;Wants to Sniff;Wants to Run Today, Oreo was a lot better with sitting on command.
