Nikao, is a very handsome 5 year old boy, his coat is so soft and pretty and requires lite brushing least once to twice a month. Nikao is Heartworm Positive; But he is now being treated with Heartguard. Nikao loves going on walks and riding in the car. He is very friendly and gentle. Nikao loves attention and is very good with children and has no problems with other dogs or cats. He often plays with our neighbors small dog and he also plays with his two siblings that I have. Nikao likes treats but is not orientated to them. His favorite treats are Jerky; And he also likes the Dentalife Dental treats. He seldom plays with toys and likes lounging around. Nikao is good at alerting when someone is approaching the door. He is also very alert and curious of his surroundings. He likes going on runs, and loves, loves walking. We are working with him, with going on walks as we believe he wasn't trained in taking walks. Nikao would make a good jogging partner if trained correctly. Nikao is a little skittish during Thunder; but not major he just wants to be where you are, when it is thundering. He is potty trained, very good in the house, crate trained up to 9 hours. He would be great with all children. Nikao is a super special boy and you will be glad that you chose him to be a part of your family
