Ryder is smart, loving, loyal, gentle, and kind. He gives the best cuddles and makes the absolute best hiking buddy. He knows how to sit and stay, and you can tell how much he wants to please. He loves to learn and thrives on connection. He’s the perfect balance — ready for an adventure, but just as happy to relax by your side at home. Even when he’s excited, he isn’t over-the-top high energy. He just wants to be near his person and have a kiss and a scratch under his chin or behind the ears. Ryder simply wants to love and be loved. Once he feels safe, he won’t leave your side. He’s the kind of companion who would never let anything happen to you—not on his watch. He will steal your heart in the first few moments. Whoever adopts him, you really are beyond blessed. 🩵
🧠 Temperament
Ryder is smart, loving, loyal, gentle, and kind. Whip-smart, intense and endlessly driven.
🎾 Exercise
Even when he’s excited, he isn’t over-the-top high energy. Very high — 90+ minutes plus daily training or a dog sport.
✂️ Grooming
Short weather-resistant double coat, easy but sheds seasonally.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
One of the toughest apartment breeds. Only realistic if you are genuinely active and ready to train daily.
