Meet Peanut, a one-year-old Weimaraner mix affectionately known as Little Boy. Peanut is a handsome chocolate brown boy with soft floppy ears and stunning amber eyes that seem to communicate his every thought. He's friendly with both dogs and people, but his ultimate preference is for human cuddles and couch naps. If you're not on the couch, he'll make gentle noises until you join him for a cozy snooze.
Ideal Home
Peanut would thrive in a home that appreciates his quiet charm and cuddly nature. He's good with older children, especially tweens and teens. However, younger children or fast runners might excite him and lead to jumping, so supervision and structure are important. He does well with other dogs in the 30-70 pound range, but his enthusiastic play style might not be for every dog. He can sometimes be a bit grumbly if another dog disturbs his nap, but he has never shown aggression.
Ongoing Health
Peanut has a sensitive stomach and does best on a diet of low-ingredient food, treats, and chews.
Training & Support
Peanut is house-trained and crate-trained, comfortable in his crate for four to eight hours when left alone. He enjoys walks and gets excited when out and about, though he does pull and benefits from wearing a harness. A shorter leash is recommended at parks, as he may jump towards runners or children playing ball. He enjoys car rides and will vocalize a bit before settling in. He needs a boost to get into the car. He knows commands like "get in your box" and "no," and is currently learning "sit" and "shake." He loves toys he can pounce on, especially squeaky toys and balls, but stuffing should be removed from squeaky toys. He also enjoys chews and tug-of-war.
