Hotch is one of the most stable fun dogs I have ever worked with. He picks up things very quick and can learn new tricks within a matter of minutes. Hotch has worked around all livestock (horses, cats, rabbits) etc and has no prey or herding drive. He can be extremely high drive when I ask him to be but will turn it right off if asked to. He competes in agility & dock diving as well as titles in tricks. He isn't phased by any noise, sight, person or animal and has never reacted to quite literally anything.
