Meet Panda! Panda is a lovable, energetic puppy with lots of affection to give everyone. There isnt anything he wont try putting in his mouth! He loves to run, play fetch and IF you manage to tire him out he can be a very good cuddler. Panda likes to sleep at the foot of your bed or at your door. His attention span can be compared to a goldfish, and he can frequently lose his train of thought even when playing before switching to chewing on a chair leg or the wall or your hand or run across the room into the wall! His favourite play fight move is the body-check and he is aspiring to join the Toronto Marlies as a backup defenseman. 

This dog absolutely loves snow and the cold and will frequently run into deeper snow and FLOP himself down. When excited he loves his zoomies and jumping as high as he can in the air! Panda LOVES meeting new people and dogs on the street and will want to cross the road to meet them - but only if you let him! Once he understands he isnt going to get to say hello he will continue on his walk with you. 

Panda LOVES gnawing and his teeth can be sharp (though he is loosing lots of his sharp little puppy teeth currently) - that being said he is VERY good with understanding proper play. When he gets excited he can forget himself so he shouldn’t be around children until he’s had enough training or grown out of this phase. Panda wants and needs to play a lot more than other smaller dogs, so he’s still learning when other dogs are done playing. When he’s well-matched on an energy level, he plays well. He is intelligent and with positive reinforcement training will grow into being a VERY GOOD BOY. He can be a derp and loves to play but he’s just oh so polite and cute about it!

The best family for Panda will have an active lifestyle, lots of room for him to run and play and will understand large dogs. If you feel you are a good match for Panda please submit an application at: covetedcanines.org/application
