Altus aslos known as Sam Sam is a lovey and cuddly guy who loves to sit next to you and look outside the window and is also very content being by himself doing his own thing. Sam does not do well in a kennel but does REALLY well being in the house not crated. He has never gotten into the garbage, gone to the bathroom in the home, chewed on anything/destroyed anything, gotten sick in the house, or tried to get things off of the table or counter while we have been home or gone.
Sam doesn't need a ton of attention like other dogs. He loves to snuggle in the morning or before bed and adores when you scratch him but he doesn't beg for constant attention from you. He is quick to check in and make sure everyone in his family is okay.
Even though Sam LOVES to go on walks he can't go on super long walks. Sam has a paw that is a little bit longer than the other and will shake with that paw if asked. Sam has a birth defect. It doesn't affect him too much unless he overuses it on a long walk. He can still run around the backyard and jump up onto the bed without any issues! Sam also just got done with 6 weeks of training… he is a pretty obedient dog. He will sit and wait to be invited onto the couch or bed, he knows how to sit, stay, and lay down. He is still working on heal during walks and stay when the doorbell rings.
Sam is overall a REALLY good dog. The best fit for Sam as far as a home would be a single person, or a couple that doesn't have a lot of chaos going on in the home/kids running around. He doesn’t do well in situations where there is a lot going on around him. Sam does better if he is mostly with only his "family". A busy home where there are a lot of people/ chaos gives him a lot of anxiety.
