Tipper Tater is a truly special pup with a charming personality that unfolds like a gentle story. He's approximately 1 year old and weighs around 14 lbs, believed to be a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. Tipper has a unique look with one warm brown eye and one striking ocean-blue eye, and his adorable, expressive ears could rival any satellite dish! He's a dog who enjoys peaceful coexistence and has shown himself to be a calm and respectful companion, even with cats. Tipper is crate-trained and potty-trained, and he approaches treats and toys with a delightful gentleness. He's a "slow burn" kind of dog, preferring to observe and build trust at his own pace, which makes his eventual affection all the more meaningful.
Ideal Home
Tipper would thrive in a lower-energy, calmer home environment where he won't be rushed. He needs kind people who will allow him to move at his own pace and celebrate his small victories. A home with a yard would be a better fit than apartment living for him.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are noted in the description.
Training & Support
Tipper is crate-trained and potty-trained. He is gentle with treats and seems curious about toys, though he's still learning how to interact with them. He is a sensitive dog and may take time to warm up to new people and situations.
