Any additional comments regarding temperament that haven’t been covered by the questions above?	He is very sweet, loves lots of pats and brushing. Very intelligent, cocks head when talking to him. Understands “treats” comes to “Buddy” but not Tiao Tiao. New Furever home could rename him I’m sure. A little shy around men and cautious about sudden movements. He is a love bug.
Profile Information	Originally listed as Sheppard Mix but the vet confirmed what we believed that he is Shiba Inu, Chow Chow, Sheppard. Only indication of Chow is a Purple streak on his tongue.  He is sweet and gentle, and hard not to fall in love with.
