Joejo is incredibly happy, cuddly, and sweet. Very smart and playful, he really just wants to please his people and is great with adults and children alike. Joejo loves playing with other dogs, and he plays with cats in the cutest puppy way and listens well when told to stop. He will roll over for a belly rub just about anywhere!

For fun, Joejo likes running after his Kong, pouncing on it as it bounces all about, and brings it back but hasn't figured out how to drop on command yet. He wants to play tug! He also loves his squishy stuffed toys- if it squeaks, he will happily march about squeaking it for you.

Joejo will do just about anything for a treat, so he's very easy to train and is a quick learner. Right now he knows Sit, Down, Come, Perch, and Up, and is learning to turn around in a circle. He's also been practicing Stay, and he's learning to sit and wait for permission at doors and gates!

He can also be incredibly relaxed. After his walks, he's ready for a nice, long snooze. He is such an easy dog!

Both house-trained and crate-trained, Joejo will sleep through the night in his crate or snuggle with you in bed.

HISTORY
