- Temperament
- Caliber is great with other dogs, however he is very touchy and tends
to not allow personal space for dogs who do not like contact. He is
used to being part of a pack and sleeping with, climbing on, and
playing with other dogs, so he would do best with a dog who likes lots
of physical contact.
Caliber
came to us from one of our adopters. They had gotten caliber as a 2nd
dog, but he was not learning to give their first dog her personal
space, and she was not comfortable with his intrusions. He has had the
same exact problem here with a couple of dogs and it is taking him a
long time to learn this concept on dogs not wanting his attentions and
close proximity. He tends to jump on and climb on dogs anytime he feels
like it, and without respect for which dog it is. Some dogs are fine
with this, some aren't, and he has issues telling the difference. Other
than that, he is great with other dogs, both bigger and smaller than
him, He plays well, is careful not to get too rough and stops if the
other dog indicates it is done. He loves to sleep on top of other dogs.
He is easy to train, pays close attention to you, is eager to please
and loves attention of any sort. He is a real cuddler and will sleep in
you lap if you let him. He is small, and it does not look like he is
going to ever be very big. As is often the case with smaller dogs, he
is higher energy as well. But he has not shown any tendency to be
destructive. He would probably do best in a home that could give him
lots of structured activities, such as agility. Unless he changes as he
matures, he is not likely to be the typical couch potato type Dane.
OTOH, he is so affectionate and adorable, with his perky looks and his
RCA dog poses, that it is hard not to fall in love with the little guy.
We will post additional photos of Caliber as time goes by, so check
back often.
