NAME: Swiss (m)

BREED: Chihuahua cross

AGE: almost 5 months

WEIGHT: 11 pounds

LIKES: Running around in the back yard with other pups, belly rubs, hard chew toys, snuggling, and digging in blankets to hide his toys.

PERSONALITY TRAITS: Swiss is reserved and a little anxious at first meeting, though he is extremely affectionate after you earn his trust.

POTTY TRAINING STATUS: Yes- outside and potty pad trained in his foster home. If there are potty pads down, he's using them, otherwise just saying “potty” and taking him outside is good, which reinforces a skill he is mastering each day.

CRATE TRAINING STATUS: Not thrilled about being in a crate alone and will let you hear about it. He does better if he's with another pup to keep him company.

EXTRAS/MISC.: Needs a little leash training. Swiss can walk on leash, but he freezes if startled and digs all 4 into the ground. More time and patient practice will give him confidence and help reinforce this important skill. Swiss is a Velcro dog. If you've earned his trust he needs to know where you are all of the time and has no concept of personal space. 😆💗 This cutie likes other dogs, and is curious about cats. He is untested with young children.
