Kanchi is a sweet and energetic young boy who is silly, loves to snuggle, and will add some spunk to your life. He loves to run and play fetch but is also perfectly content snuggling on the couch, munching on a bone, or taking grass baths.

If Kanchi were a human, hed thrive as an Olympic sprinter, a snorkeler, or even a camp counselor.

Kanchi loves people and greets everyone with kisses. He gets along well with his non-dominant foster siblings (male and female) and engages in gentle, patient play with a 10-week-old foster puppy. Hes not reactive to chickens or goats but cant safely live with cats or other small animals.

Occasionally, Kanchi can become overstimulated, which may lead to anxious behavior. Having a handler who can recognize these signs and redirect him with focus exercises has been very effective. He can also get a bit pushy for affection, so clear boundaries are essential.
Overall, Kanchi is easy to please, and with some physical and mental stimulation (he loves his morning treadmill walks and filled Kongs), hes happy to nap while his foster works, making him an excellent office co-worker.

Kanchi is potty trained, crate trained, rides calmly in the car, and is well-mannered at the vet's office. Hes not bothered by loud noises and is e-collar and bark collar conditioned. Hes currently working on intermediate skills, and although he doesnt have any naughty habits like counter-surfing or raiding the trash, he will try to test boundaries. He responds well to corrections and has made excellent progress with consistent direction.

Kanchi is looking for a moderately active family in a calm, chaos-free home. Hed love to be a solo dog but with slow, controlled introductions, hed do well with non-dominant canine siblings. He may enjoy handler-focused sports like Dock Diving, Flyball, or Fast Cat.
