Fortunately, they were able to stay with their mother until they were two months old, and both have grown into happy puppies who trust people and enjoy human affection.<\/p>\n\n<p>Piero, however, seems to have taken the concept of independence a little further than most.<\/p>\n\n<p>A closed door? Interesting challenge.<\/p>\n\n<p>A fence? Something worth investigating.<\/p>\n\n<p>A new toy? Let&#8217;s see what happens if I chew on it.<\/p>\n\n<p>He&#8217;s not afraid of much, and he&#8217;s always ready for another adventure.<\/p>\n\n<p>Piero is a high-energy puppy who needs plenty of exercise, playtime, supervision, and patient humans willing to help him learn the rules of civilized household living.<\/p>\n\n<p>He already comes when called, but his other obedience skills are still under construction.<\/p>\n\n<p>His ideal home would have a very securely fenced yard, friendly dogs to play with, and people who enjoy spending time teaching an intelligent, energetic puppy.<\/p>\n\n<p>He would not be a good match for a household with children, a family that leaves him alone for long periods, or anyone hoping for a quiet, low-maintenance companion.<\/p>\n\n<p>And because Piero is unusually talented at finding ways out, his future family will need to be especially careful with doors, gates, and fencing.<\/p>\n\n<p>Piero isn&#8217;t trying to be difficult.<\/p>\n\n<p>He&#8217;s simply a little genius with a very busy imagination.<\/p>\n\n<p>Give him love, patience, appropriate things to chew, plenty of activity, and a safe place to explore, and you&#8217;ll have a wonderful little partner in adventure.<\/p>\n\n<p>Just remember: If Piero suddenly looks especially innocent, you might want to check the gate.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t let those enormous ears and innocent eyes fool you!
