Description:

Tiko is still very much a puppy who loves toys (especially puzzle toys that take him a while to figure out). He can easily entertain himself by throwing stuffed toys up in the air and catching or chasing them. He loves to chew, so it is important that he has appropriate chews.

Tiko has been around other small dogs as well as a cat, but he definitely prefers to have ALL t h e attention. He becomes jealous once he feels comfortable. He likes his human(s) to be HIS alone. He is not a fan of most men.

He gets your attention when he needs to go outside but he really hates the chilly temps so may not stay outside long enough to complete his "business". Going on a walk would probably help.

At night he sleeps in a crate. Initially he whines but gives up after a few minutes. In the morning, as soon as he hears stirring , he will start to fidget again so you better be ready to take him outside.

So far Tiko understands "no" (which is really a good thing!) because he is very curious and gets into things he shouldn't (like wastebaskets).

Thus has he hasn't been vocal so apartment or townhomes should be okay. He is small but needs to be entertained with toys and chews. After playing, he will crash on your lap for a snooze.

Tiko is a very sweet pup who would love to find a forever home without other pets or small children so he can have ALL the attention. Are you that home?
