Alias: Topy/Toby
Alleged Breed(s): miniature poodle
Suspected Breeds(s): poodle + some springer spaniel
Color, in terms of coffee beverages: latte-mocha swirl
Approximate Age: 5 years
Background: Ohio puppymill
Our Foster Since: Sept. 22, 2012
Temperament/Personality: Sweetheart! Loving, affectionate, friendly but also hesitant; expresses trepidation about new people for a moment, but once he finds they mean him no harm he adores them and follows them around; he loves to lay with someone on the couch and sometimes insists on being petted. He adores being brushed, and is patient for baths and other grooming. Learns quickly from clicker training.
Level of House-training: making progress; he is crated overnight and does not eliminate in his crate; he is kept in a room with a linoleum floor during our work day and has twice had an accident during the day.
Behavior Challenges: some separation anxiety, expressed through barking (no destructiveness though); sometimes jumps up when walking on leash.
Known Health Issues: none, other than some car-sickness.
Considerations: He enjoys and is submissive toward other dogs and continues to learn from them. He has met at least one kitten and was curious but respectful of her distance. He has been friendly toward and tolerant of children. He does not like to go to the bathroom with a person close by and would benefit from a fenced yard. He barks when left alone at night, but is fine when crated in bedroom with people.
