While Jack is very affectionate, he is not clingy or needy. He is allowed on certain furniture and knows what is ok and what is off limits. He is used to solid daily exercise and wears a backpack for his daily hikes and walks. While Jack is not overly energetic, he is always up for an adventure with his backpack! Jack is wonderful with vet visits, does really well with people outside of his house.

Jack will do well with more socialization. He can be leery of first meetings with men he doesn't know but once he gets to know them, he is very accepting. Jack is very food motivated and will do almost anything for a treat.

Jack doesn't go to dog parks as he can be intimidated by strong willed dogs. Otherwise he gets along with larger dogs who are easy going. He would benefit from more socialization in group walks.

He is housebroken, great on a leash, great with commands, medium energy, would love an active person or family to go for big hikes or daily runs.
