🐕 Dogs? yes
🐱 Cats? unknown, TBD
🐄 Other animals? not sure
💩 House trained? yes
🛏️ Crate trained? yes
⚡ Energy level: VERY HIGH
🚗 Travel well? yes
🧸 Favorite toy/activity: chewing and running. He loves going for walks and will frequently “hop” instead of walk or run.
🚶♀️ Leash trained? in progress, needs continued practice for success
🥅 Fence Required? Yes, for his safety, as he likes to go on adventures. He should be double-leashed in the beginning as he gets to know his new family
“He is a super happy and energetic dog. He doesn’t always realize that he’s not a 10-pound dog and wants to lay on his back on your lap and get all the pets and belly rubs. He is a chewer, so the new parent should have LOTS of chew toys handy at all times.”
He needs an outlet to exert his energy and keep his mind stimulated.
Ragnar is great with getting his hair cut/trimmed. (His former family had a lot of fun trying new hairstyles on him and he reportedly loved it.) The new owner should research grooming maintenance for this breed mix to determine if this is financially sustainable.
