Skipper is cheerful and bold, playful yet easy to please. They love having room to roam and a buddy to roam with. They are happiest when they get to follow their own nose, but they still look back to make sure you're near.
Dogs with this personality are born explorers. Every sound is a mystery, every breeze a message. They dive into life with bright eyes and a wagging tail. Their excitement is genuine, and their joy contagious. They love walks that turn into little adventures and games that go on longer than planned.
While they enjoy freedom, they don't mind following the rules. They want to be a good dog. They just don't want to be told the same thing twice. They like clear cues, kind tones, and room to run.
In their world, being together means moving together. They may lead the way, but they check in often. They don't need constant direction. Just a shared sense of fun.

Interaction Suggestions
For a Skipper, energetic play is key. Use lively games like fetch or agility style courses to channel their boundless energy, then give clear commands and calm praise once they settle. Keep training sessions fun and varied so they don't get bored, and allow some solo sniffing time afterward to wind down.
