Summary

PLAYGROUP:

Raf’s previous guarding reported that he lived with a small dog and was respectful of him. When off leash at the Care Center, Raf greets the female helper with an alert posture- leaning forward and on his tip-toes and whimpers a little. He becomes sexually motivated- genital sniffing and licking- and attempts to mount several times and persists this behavior even after being interrupted by handlers. Raf displays loose and wiggly body language when greeting a male dog. He is social, checking in on the other male often as he explores the pen.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:

4/2/17

During his medical examination, Raf was friendly and allowed all handling.

ENERGY LEVEL:

Raf displays a very high activity level in the care center in line with what his previous owner reports. We recommend providing daily mental and physical stimulation as an outlet to direct his energy.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
