He sure is cute but he is not the dog for a first time dog owner or anyone who is looking for the immediate “connection” or affectionate boy!
Nigel came from a hoarding situation- he is more cat like than dog like - he will sleep next to me but if I go to pet him he leaves. He loves the other dogs, plays well with them and is now even chasing a ball. I do believe in time he will be a loving companion but that will require a lot of patience and time for him to decompress. If you are looking for a super social dog he is not it. If you are looking for a playmate for your small dog he may be a good fit. He will go in his crate willingly w treats. I have not attempted the leash so a personal fenced in backyard will be required. We are looking for a home without children, another small confident and playful dog would he ideal!
