He is very playful, spunky and affectionate. He will benefit from having another active dog in his forever home, but he will chase cats. He is spunky, energetic, fun and loving. When he is worn out from playing he loves to find a cozy spot on the couch (or your lap!) and will quickly be your best snuggle buddy. Erik walks well on leash and is potty trained.

He is a very low-key and easygoing dog that enjoys being at your side, snuggling, sleeping and taking walks. He's a little shy with strangers, but generally warms up quickly. Luke is low maintenance and easy to have around. He seems most comfortable in the house lying on the couch.
