He currently lives with both dogs and cats. Mandarin is also housetrained, knows how to use a doggy door and is fine left alone for 3-4 hour intervals. He can take a few minutes to warm up to new people, and has done well with respectful kids. He has received professional training through Saturn Dog Training in Sacramento in preparation for his forever. The ideal home will be ready to commit to 10-15 years of dog ownership; a backyard would be most ideal as he has grown up with one. He may do well with another dog in the home, good with cats, but could also be a solo dog to the right applicants. We would recommend a home with kids 8-10+.
