Snowy is a young pup who is very calm. He loves to cuddle and treats! He is learning to walk on a leash and discover how to live indoors. Snowy was kept outside probably his whole life and is uncertain about the world. He can be a little shy. Despite his history, he seems to do great learning new things and enjoying life in his temp foster home. He has food aggression, he probably had to fight for food, so its best if when fed he is given food away from other dogs. He will be a great companion to the right family!
🧠 Temperament
Snowy is a young pup who is very calm. Genuinely one of the smartest breeds — quick to learn, and quick to invent bad habits if bored.
🎾 Exercise
He is learning to walk on a leash and discover how to live indoors. 45-60 minutes daily plus puzzle work.
✂️ Grooming
High maintenance. The curly single coat doesn't shed much but mats easily; expect brushing several times a week and professional grooming every 6-8 weeks.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
Excellent city dogs — low shedding, adaptable and highly trainable. Budget for grooming.
