Meet Apollo

This boy was retired from a show breeding program as he is very shy and skittish (breeders call this soft) and his puppies were also similarly shy and skittish, a trait that’s not desirable for the show ring. However, we think it’s a trait that makes for a fantastic pet! We’d take submissive any day over alpha. Lol. But as he can be defensive of a crate and scares easily until he is adjusted - we do recommend a child free environment at first. He already knows sit and is learning walking on a leash quickly. The first week he wouldn’t come near his foster family and preferred to hide in his cage alone, but now has taken to jumping into their laps with joy to watch tv by week two. So anyone who is willing to wait for a couple weeks for him to adjust will have a great dog. He’s interested in other dogs and people on his walks and not overly frightened but slow progress is always key. No aggression seen, but scared dogs can be easily startled in their first weeks at home so to be cautious and go slow to prevent an issue ever happening is key. His foster home has many tiny dogs and 1 cat in it and he’s done very well with all of them except one alpha puppy that keeps trying to start fights. Lol. They crate him when they are gone to ensure no fights but all has been well in the first 2 weeks. Lastly, he’s so darn handsome!!!! Love him.
