From the Foster: Tux is very sweet and friendly! He loves everyone he meets and we are working on not jumping up on people. When we say 'down' and move him down he listens very well. He loves attention, so kisses and hugs and belly rubs are the best. He does not like to be left out so if we are giving attention to our husky Braxie he has to come join in! Tux walks well on a leash. He loves to stop and sniff all along the way but also wants to keep up with Braxie. He pulls a little when he sees a bunny, squirrel or other dog but listens pretty well when I try to get his attention with a treat. He knows sit and after getting a treat we are back to our regular walking. Tux is a good eater and very treat/food motivated. We haven't had any aggression around food at all. He does like to steal bones/chews but usually waits to do so until Braxie walks away. He loves to wrestle and chase in the yard. He does growl while he wrestles but it's all in fun. He barks a little, mostly when playing. He does instigate with Braxie and if Braxie isn't in the mood or has had enough, he'll let Tux know and Tux understands. He loves to find sticks and often carries a stick on our walks. He is kennel trained and does not bark or whine in the crate. After having him a month we have started to leave him out of the crate for short periods when we are not home. No issues at all. He is crate trained at night in a crate in the bedroom but he much prefers to sleep in the bed with us. Tux is completely house trained. He is very regular and on a routine but also will whine at us if he needs to go out. Then he'll go sit by the door while he waits for us. Tux is never alone. At his first foster home when he was a tiny puppy and now with us he's always had his people and/or dogs around. He loves to cuddle with us but his favorite spot is next to Braxie, wherever that may be. He is a very easy puppy and the most loving, sweet boy!
