Meiko has dropped a little weight and his fur is getting softer. When he gets excited he shakes his head and his foster mom thought maybe he had something wrong with his ears, but she didn’t see anything. It just seems he likes to make himself dizzy.
Meiko still has a very strong personality, he can be dominant, pushy, demanding, and vocal. Molly is working with him and has made some progress with his training. He’s been rough at times to work with and a few times nipped or shown aggression. Sometimes Meiko may try and attack for no reason. He also shows aggression and possession over toys, anything of worth, and will show aggression when being crated. Meiko needs a strong pack leader who will “own” and work with him on a regular basis. Molly is very persistent and slowly she’s making progress but Meiko seems to be a stubborn boy.
Because Meiko has a tough personality he will need a special home with no small children and someone who is dog-experienced. Keep checking back to see how Meiko is progressing.

Hi Molly,
I see Meiko luv is being his stubborn self
I wanted to let you know that when he didn’t want to go in his crate, we threw in some cheese. With his ears, his left ear seemed to be sensitive if we tried to pet him in that area. The vet couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
