MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:

Date of Initial: 5/19/17

During his initial medical examination, Kennedy spent his time exploring the room; he allowed all handling but showed minimal interest in his human handlers.

ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Kennedy so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.
