Dependent
Independent
Cautious
Exploratory
Calm
Excitable
Obedient
Autonomous
Nestler is gentle and thoughtful, deeply loyal yet quietly independent. They find comfort in routines and familiar faces. They do not demand attention. They simply settle nearby, always within reach, always quietly present.
Dogs with this personality take time to warm up. New people, loud places, sudden changes, these things ask too much, too fast. They prefer calm voices, soft movements, and patient hearts. They love cozy corners, slow mornings, and the quiet comfort of your company.
Though they stay close, they don't need to be held. They like to choose when to lean in and when to rest on their own. Being trusted to come close on their terms means everything.
They listen more than they speak. They watch, they sense, they feel. Their loyalty is quiet but unwavering. They may not come running when you call, but they are always near, always ready, always yours.

Interaction Suggestions
Nestlers need a comfortable base of support and freedom to make small choices. Provide them with a cozy crate or bed they can retreat to, and let them investigate new environments on a leash at their own pace. Use positive routines, like feeding at set times and brief supervised play, to build their confidence, gently encouraging them out of their shell without forcing it.
