Curly walks calmly on leash. He may be house trained – toileted immediately when taken outside. Jack was stiff and did not show social behavior during the assessment. Curly was uncomfortable with handling; he stands tall, sometimes on his tiptoes, and tries to look large. His hair was standing up along his back. He wrinkles his muzzle to expose his front teeth and preparing to lunge forward. We decided to skip the handling part of the assessment for safety reasons. During the resources Curly was not interested in food, toys or rawhide. He does not approach other dog, attempts to exit. Curly was surrender to us.
