I love my Zuchon! He was born in July 2021, so he is a little over a year old. He walks well on a leash. Very smart. A real cuddle buddy! He is very close to being completely house trained. He loves his toys and is very social. He seems to prefer larger dogs. I have had Great Danes, various hunting breeds, and a rescue Shih Tzu. I am glad I got a Zuchon!
