They are affectionate companions who thrive on human connection and positive training. With proper guidance, structure, and socialization, they grow into devoted, well-mannered family members. Maui is already showing the intelligence and loving temperament the breed is known for — she just needs someone ready to help her grow into her best self. Maui’s Personality & Home Needs Maui is everything you’d expect from a happy puppy — playful, curious, affectionate, and full of life. She can be a little shy at first, but she warms up quickly and will happily shadow her favorite person around the house. She doesn’t yet realize her puppy strength, so a home with older, respectful children would be ideal. She has high puppy energy but settles nicely after playtime and absolutely loves to cuddle. Maui thrives on interaction, chew toys, and positive reinforcement. She is very smart and already learning basic commands. With consistency, patience, and structure, she will continue to blossom beautifully. She is still working on housebreaking and leash training, and because she is not yet crate trained, she does best in a play pen when left alone. She will need an adopter committed to the time and dedication required to raise and train a young puppy. Ideal Home for Maui Someone committed to puppy training and consistency Older, respectful children due to puppy enthusiasm A fenced yard preferred for safe play and energy release An active household that will provide mental and physical stimulation A family ready for cuddles, chew toys, and lots of love Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description.
