Nova is very sweet and protective once he gets comfortable with you. He is skittish at first so it’s important to take your time and be gentle with him. He’s crate and leash trained, good during bath time and trimming nails. He’s great around cats and female dogs. He is a bit protective of his brother, so male dogs are not recommended. Nova is also not food aggressive at all and is good in the car!
