He was easily collared by the runner in the catch pen. He entered the play yard with soft body language. He was approached by a female shepherd and exchanged a soft greeting with her. He began to roam the yard and explore. He was tolerant of dogs trailing him to sniff him. He continued to exchange soft greetings with the calmer dogs that approached him. He appeared more tense with the higher energy dogs or dogs lingering in his face. He was approached by a female shepherd that playfully pushed him with her body, trying to entice play. He became tense with a high stiff tail, forward posture and gave her a growl waming. She respected the waming and walked away. He continued to remain social with the calmer dogs. He would approach the handlers in the yard and sought affection. He displayed no negative or conceming behavior toward the handlers in the yard. Rocky would do best with a calm dog that will respect his space and boundaries.
