✅ Prince is a pretty mellow dog. He settled in quickly but we discovered he doesn’t like to be shut in anywhere. We took him in our bedroom with us the first night with the door shut and he got very anxious, pacing and panting. I slept out in the living room with him and he was just fine. Second night we just let him have free reign and he slept in the living room. Now he will wander into the bedroom sometimes and sleep. I think he would be pretty stressed out in a crate.
✅ We have left him alone twice now and he has just laid down and rested. No issues. He does like to chew and has snuck a shoe and dryer balls and nibbled on a fabric ottoman, but no real damage and no attempt on other inside furniture. He has his nylon and wood bones and occasional collagen stick to satisfy that.
✅ Completely house broken. As a matter of fact he won’t go outside again after about 7:30pm when we get back from a walk until morning. We sit outside about 7:00 while I have my tea and he lays down and waits for his morning walk to do his business.
✅ Speaking of walks - he was a little confused and nervous the first time but now he loves going for walks! We use a harness and he is fabulous - no pulling.
✅ He is very curious about other people and dogs and acts quite friendly. Met a little girl (5-6) on a walk and reacted happily. (Note: Jody brought her 2-year-old granddaughter over to meet him, and Prince was wonderful with her as well)
✅ Friendly with all people- on walks and in our home. And if you’ll rub his tummy….friends for life.
✅ First few times going in the car he was very scared and anxious - I had to actually lift him into the car. Now he wants to go in the car all the time (I think because it takes him to super fun places to walk). He needs the windows open still to be comfortable-he gets anxious if you go at a speed that you need to do up the windows, but hopefully he will get used to that as well, soon.
✅ He rarely barks and so far it’s been a couple times just at us when he wanted us to pay attention. He does however howl with police/fire/ambulance sirens. It's hilarious.
✅ He is allowed on the couch but luckily has made no attempt at a bed!
✅ He likes to do a little fetching of his toys outside with us, we walk twice a day, and he does play on his own a bit inside with his toys, but he is generally low-medium energy I’d say.
