FUN FUN FUN!!! Navy is one zippy and ready-to-go little lad who loves adventure and is up for anything. Whether it be exploring the farm grounds, a hike in the woods or playing ball play in the yards... Navy is down and ready for it all. That's why we think he may have some Jack Russell in him. He's an athletic type with an eye for the ball!
We are having such a great time getting to know Navy as a little bit more of his personality unravels each day. Navy can be a bit dis-trustful of new people but is conflicted because he loves to be around people in general.. Upon first meeting, Navy is super eager to say hello and may even jump on you however once you reach out to touch him, he gets uncomfortable. We aren't sure of Navy's history but we do wonder what would cause him to be uncomfortable with human touch?
We listen to Navy's cues and allow him to trust and get used to us before we so anything invasive like pet him or take his leash on/off. He is very much ready to bond with someone. Eager to please and learns to love through play. The best way into Navy's heart are treats (of course!!) and playtime He sprints about the yard with long and short chihuahua strides! Navy really likes when the environment is relaxed. A calm household with a predictable routine would be perfect for Navy. We don't believe he would do well in a home with lots of comings and goings.
Navy can get along well with another dog if it works for his more tenacious play style! An easy going female would work best.
We are still learning more about sweetie pie with a few "naughty" habits... 90% of the time he is a jolly playful and affectionate little guy.. we have seen several sensitive areas that cause him to act defensively. Leashing & unleashing in his domain is one of his triggers.. we are sleuthing out the issue and will continue to update on his .. and our progress! He is inherently affectionate and sweet natured. Somewhere along his path he learned to defend himself from actions that threatened him in some way. We will hold onto Navy Bean and do our best to sort out this quirk.. Stay tuned!
