Iggy’s Gentle Nature: Ideal for Families and Retirees
Iggy is available
At Funny Farm Doodles, we carefully evaluate each puppy’s temperament to ensure they find their ideal home. Iggy is a sweet, tenderhearted puppy who thrives in calm, loving environments. With his affectionate nature and gentle disposition, he makes an excellent companion for families, retirees, or individuals looking for an emotional support animal.
Iggy’s Personality and Traits
Iggy has a low level of assertiveness and confidence, meaning he prefers a soft and reassuring approach when learning new things. He has a medium motivation level, making him trainable but best suited to a patient and encouraging owner. His low nerve strength and resiliency suggest he may need extra time to adjust to unfamiliar environments, but once he feels secure, he bonds deeply with his family.
He has high touch tolerance, making him an ideal cuddle companion, and low sound and sight sensitivity, meaning he is unlikely to be startled easily. His highly tenderhearted nature makes him deeply affectionate, while his submissive dog-friendliness ensures he gets along well with other pets.
