Tolerant of the other dogs, but he seemed to prefer to keep to himself at this time. He was a bit nervous and would give appropriate corrections to communicate that he rather be left alone. He would start to become more accepting of receiving greetings after getting more comfortable with the dogs.

Choppy seemed very fearful in the kennel. He gave a light growl and would lip curl. I went slow while leashing him and he allowed me to place it on him. Choppy walked well on the leash to the yard. After having some time to get used to me, he didn't mind touched and handled. He would seek the petting as well after getting more comfortable with me.
