Story
We have had Zero for more than 1.5 year. He would be perfect in a household with a few adults and no kids. He should be fine with older/calm dog. He is good on walks but will chase rabbits and squirrels if they are close by. Knows commands like sit, down, touch, stay, leave it, with me, come. Recall is not 100%. Unfortunately two household members continue to suffer from allergies despite multiple products being used. Despite lots of attempts in bonding, he continues to exclusively prefer adult owner (me) and not well bonded to the kids. He will tolerate and enjoy their attention, but also displays anxiety around them. Not destructive, doesn't steal food or eat random things he is not suppose to eat, loves pets/cuddles but also enjoys doing his own thing and being near owner. Very alert with strangers approaching house. 2 walks a day (about 30 minutes each) and a small fenced in backyard seem to satisfy his energy needs.
