-This big goofy puppy is convinced he's actually a lap dog... and honestly, no one has had the heart to tell him otherwise. The moment you sit down, he assumes your lap is reserved just for him! Personal space? Never heard of it. This boy believes the best way to show love is by climbing in close and delivering a generous amount of slobbery kisses.

-Outside he started things off with one brave little bark at absolutely nothing (just in case it needed barking at), then happily set off for his walk. He strolls nicely on leash and seems pretty proud of himself for it.

-He's a treat-motivated smart cookie who already knows how to sit patiently and takes snacks gently. He may pop up for extra treats or attention now and then, but he's clearly eager to listen and learn--he just needs a little help polishing up those puppy manners.

-Toys caught his interest, though he's still figuring out exactly what the rules are there. Toss it? Chew it? Carry it around like a prized possession? The jury's still out.

-Overall he's just a big, handsome, fun, affectionate doofus of a puppy with a happy heart, a wiggly body, and lots of love to give. With a little guidance and some basic training, this sweet goofball is going to grow into one amazing best friend.

-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
