Risco is an intelligent and lovable dog. He loves to smile and is so happy to get attention. He adores his morning walks. 

When he warms up to you he enjoys cuddling on the couch. He loves to give occasional doggy kisses and lay by your side as you work or are busy doing other things waiting for you to do something together. He would do best in an active environment. 

He is crate, leash, and potty trained and hasn’t had an accident inside his den. He is very alert with his surroundings and will need to be on a leash while being outside since he has a high prey drive and likes to chase small animals. He would do best in a household with no small animals and a fenced in back yard.
