Diesel`s foster recently said he was the best dog he`d ever met! He also had some other wonderful things to say about him:
- Smaller than he looks in pictures (53lbs, but very short and stocky) - Very curious about everything - Truly loves other dogs - Knows sit and down - Will sit and wait for dinner if asked - Learned to walk with a Gentle Leader because he can pull and it makes it easier to walk together - Working on off leash recall and doing well - Loves rolling in stinky things in the yard though - House trained but needs a routine - Crate-Trained - Sleeps through the night in crate but loves to jump on the bed and sleep on the pillows when he can - Has met lots of different people and has times of nervousness, especially if they are wearing a hat, sunglasses, or hoods - Will alert bark new people when in a group, but quickly makes them part of the group - Will jump on you out of excitement - Huge ladies man, will instantly befriend any ladies stranger or not, guys come second - Bit of a nibbler, likes loose garments and nibbles on them. (Probably his most annoying habit and only thing that really needs work.) He will stop if he has a toy in his mouth, which is also one of his favorite things to have in his mouth - The cuddliest dog ever - Has to be touching a person at all times if one is home
