This puppy has been very healthy since birth.

General Personality Notes:

This puppy is on the reserved side, not bold, but likes to hang back and allow the other puppies to experience new things before he tries them. He is a follower, not a leader. This puppy is cautious in his outlook on life. He will benefit from correct socialization training that goes slow and allows for his emotions to remain in check. Overwhelming this boy will shut him down internally and he will refuse to continue. It will be important to keep his confidence high throughout training.
