Chicho is the sweetest, cuddliest guy! He is an inside dog and sleeps in bed, but also loves to run around outside and sunbathe! Chicho’s personality is super warm and cuddly, very playful, but also nervous especially in new environments. I imagine in the transition period, it will be a huge adjustment and will require new training! The ideal setup would be a family with time and patience to really invest in him, work with his personality, and offer such a loving and cuddly home!
