He’s mostly an indoor only dog who’s walked 2x a day and will only have accidents in the home if you take too long to take him out.

He allowed to be scanned (+), collared and taken pictures of. Oreo seemed to enjoy being picked up/held & was placed into a kennel with ease. When spoken to in “baby talk” he’ll stomp his little paws which makes it appear as if he’s dancing.
