Frito lives for love, a true companion that has an endless supply of cuddles and affection for you. Frito is an adventurer at heart, but his favorite pastime is lying next to you or on your lap if you’ll allow it. Bonus, his love is not exclusive to his owner; he shows the same affection to all humans. Frito is always ready for play, a run, a walk around the neighborhood, or a hike, and he will fearlessly follow you on any adventure. He has staffy energy compressed into a pocket sized body, with silly dachshund (or seal 🦭) feet! He’s just a silly little meatball. He is great on a leash when you’ve got his attention, and behaves himself when passing other dogs and people. Frito is crate trained and potty trained.
Frito has been left behind in his past and as a result he has quite a bit of separation anxiety. He displays this anxiety by whining and crying loudly. As he learns to trust he does quiet down, but he would not be best suited for apartment living as the neighbors will surely hear him. When you get home Frito is the happiest boy, jumping and running around, he explodes with excitement. Frito will need time and dedication to completely correct this behavior. Frito would do best in a home that is committed to his training him to be the best boy he can be.
Frito is good with dogs of all sizes, but his energy could be a lot for some. A tolerant friend, and slow calm introductions would be best.
Are you ready for endless cuddles and entertainment? Are you a strong leader looking for a lovable, active, pocked-sized sidekick? Then Frito is just the pup for you!
