Although Meiko’s original posting states he is 25 lbs., I believe that was slightly incorrect because he is actually 35 lbs. and a little fat, but he is slowly losing weight. He has stiff back legs and his vet records indicate he has had patella issues. This may have hindered his exercising and may be why he is a little over weight. We are going to have the vet take a look at this.

Meiko tends to be a bit aggressive with toys, food and in general. Even though he is aggressive, he is also friendly and affectionate. We are working on his aggression issues and have faith that he can become less aggressive. We haven’t tested him with children yet because of this. He is learning his commands and is almost good at sit and stay and almost walking good on a loose leash.

Meiko is crate trained and doesn’t have a problem being crated. This is where he naps and sleeps at night. Because Meiko has a medium to high energy level he likes to go on long walks 2 to 3 times a day and/or play in the yard. He prefers his plush toys over others.

Meiko is still in the evaluation process, but has great potential to become a wonderful member of his new forever home. Stay tuned for more on Meiko.
