Temperament

• Fun loving and friendly with both people and dogs.
• Very clever and confident dog that just wants to get pleasure from life.
• Listens well and loves to please, but has a very high prey drive and once he picks up a scent finds it difficult to focus on your commands.
• Highly motivated by food, so he is easy to refocus.
• Active dog that loves playing ball. He does some agility and is also good on the treadmill.
• Great cuddler.
• No issues with grooming or trimming nails.
• Best walked with a Haltie. Has a tendency to pull when he sees or smells something that captures his interest.
• Loves toys and has a mild object aggression.

Owner Suitability

• Active family who will appreciate and participate in his joie de vivre.
• Great company for a walk, hike, or even a jog.
• Other dogs and children would be a good fit in this dog’s world.
• NO CATS!
• A high-fenced yard is a must since Dodger can jump.
• Positive reinforcement training is a must for Dodger.
