“Pavo”

Training engagement (low/medium/high):

I would say medium to high, he listens fairly well but still needs a lot of treats but I also don’t work with him a lot so its on both of us!

Energy level (low/medium/high):

High when active, but is getting better at calm as matures can relax with other dogs

Biddability (low/medium/high):

Medium to high he is always happy to do things

Vocality (low/medium/high):

Was very low as a puppy but my dogs have taught him to bark more. He barks when excited and at creatures but no more than the other dogs

Prey drive (low/medium/high):

Low to med same as othersx barks at the birds squirrels raccoons deer but ignores the chickens outside the fence and loves the cat

Human social (reactive, aloof, neutral, social):

Very social loves everyone

Dog social: (reactive, aloof, neutral, social):

I am rather protective around other dogs but he seems totally fine got along with dogs in our classes and when out walking.

Environmental sensitivity - (scale of 1-10, 10 being very reactive/unable to redirect and 1 being sleeping and/or completely engaged and able to ignore the world):

I would say 6. He does not come when he is wound up barking at something without me getting his attention calling him is not enough (again my poor training) but then there are times where the other dogs are going bat shit crazy and he looks outside and then goes back to chewing on his toy or sitting on the couch!

Confidence level (scale of 1-10, 1 being afraid of the smallest change/shadow and 10 being completely unafraid in any scenario):

I would say 9 I can’t think of any situations so far where he has been afraid a few times he was hesitant about something but then was fine, like getting out of the crate from the car at a new place which could also be related to getting out of the crate and I have to lift him down.

Velcro (scale 1-10, 1 being very independent and aloof and 10 being living in your skin at all times):

5 meaning he is pretty “normal” he does like to be near me if I’m in the same room as long as nothing more exciting is going on but he does not seem to have any concerns about me leaving him. He is always with another dog so that helps.

Affectionate (scale 1-10, 1 being not ever seeking or giving affection/attention, 10 being the most affectionate dog ever):

Again I am giving him a 5 meaning he “normal”. He loves to greet me and he will check in periodically if I am sitting on the couch and give me kisses. If he is in the same room with me he is usually at my feet or beside me. He is very sweet, and as affectionate as my others. But he is not usually annoying or overwhelming with his affection. So I think 5 is perfect!

Problem solving skills/independent thinking: (scale 1-10, 1 being needs help with everything/can’t generalize, 10 being puzzle master):

Well he’s pretty damn good at getting 4 foot sticks thru a 12” doggie door so I’d say pretty high 8-9.

Off switch?

Pretty good occasionally he has to go in the crate to chill but that is very rare and usually due to utter chaos from the chihuahuas!

Favorite activities:

Playing ball, getting treats, running and barking with his family, going to class or walking, and I’m sure swimming will be up there.

Personality quirks?

None that I can think of he is a pretty normal Icie based on my other 4. Except shoving his toys into my face or lap but other than occasionally painful or annoying its pretty sweet

Pros?

He is very will adjusted and a very sweet boy. He is showing maturity in that he no longer chews things he shouldn’t and can be left loose in the house with no issues, he is settling into adult hood quite well. So far he is respectful of his elders and understands when they have had enough of him he is submissive but in correct way. He tries very hard to make them love him haha

Cons?

His high pitched bark but it seems to have gotten better in the last few weeks! I’m still concerned about his front legs coming around for conformation but otherwise he is a sweet, smart loving boy and I love him very much.

Any additional comments?:

I think you did an amazing job raising this litter and they are both a reflection of the best of their parents
