Chief is a super happy dog, who loves his food and will eat all of it. No need to cook special meals. If it's in his bowl, he'll eat it. He also drinks a lot of water! He's an easy going dog. All he wants is to go out for his #1s and #2s, exercise a bit and he's good to go. He lays next to his foster humans and just chills, either taking a nap or chewing on his raw hide.

He is crate trained, but I only crate him in rare occasions. Chief is in an apartment now and he'll do great at another apartment as long as he gets his walks so he can use the bathroom. He is potty trained and will let you know when he needs to go. It's super cute!!!

Chief is a young adult with some puppy like behaviors. Very loving. He'll stick his head between your legs when you are putting your shoes on. :) He'll give you hugs and make the most adorable noises when you scratch his ears.

Chief rides well in the car and is also a great walker. He does not pull unless he sees a squirrel. ;)

He already knows "sit, stay, go". Very trainable. If in a house with a doggy door, I am sure he'll learn his way in and out very quickly!

He is not a talker, but when he does bark, it's a beautiful and deep sound! I just love taking him on walks and feel protected by him. :)

He gets along well with other dogs and all types and sizes of humans. I have never seen him with cats.
