If you want a calm dog to play with, then I may be one of your best options. I will cuddle you quietly (or jump up gently for a hug once I trust you). I may even give you my paw to shake. I seem to be learning to become more shy as I get older, so please remind me that people are nice to play with. My owners have a hard time figuring out where to keep me, since I am such a good climber, and can slip my collar really easily.
