At Funny Farm Doodles, we strive to match each puppy with the perfect home by carefully evaluating their temperament. Ian is a sweet and affectionate puppy with a calm and thoughtful nature, making him a wonderful companion for individuals, retirees, or families looking for a loving and gentle dog.

Ian’s Personality and Traits

Ian has a medium level of assertiveness but a low level of confidence, meaning he may need a bit of extra reassurance in new situations. His low motivation level suggests he prefers a relaxed environment over high-energy activities, making him a great fit for a laid-back home. With low nerve strength and resiliency, Ian thrives in a structured and predictable setting where he can build confidence over time.

He has high touch tolerance, meaning he enjoys physical affection and handling, which is a fantastic trait for families or therapy settings. His medium prey drive ensures he enjoys playtime without being overly driven by chasing instincts. Ian’s moderately tenderhearted nature makes him affectionate while still being emotionally resilient, and his neutral dog-friendliness means he can coexist with other pets but isn’t overly dependent on them.
