He is fearful and reactive to people that he has not met before, especially men and children. Cusco does not do well in a busy and unpredictable environment and can get very stressed. He is not a family dog and will not be safe around children of any age. He should also always be under control and leashed around any strangers.

Cusco does okay with other dogs but has been known to challenge the dominance of dogs he is not familiar with and cannot be trusted off leash around dogs he isn’t fully comfortable with. Cusco will do very well in a home with multiple dogs. However, the introduction should be slow and well controlled until he is fully comfortable with the other dogs.
