His is a very bright pup, black coat, short medium length. Learned to potty outside in 2-3 days of training, learned to use the wee wee pads in the same amount of time (when we adopted him he had no previous training from owner). Usopp loves to explore but stay by your side, he is nervous around big dogs but is confident until they approach him. He is also great around my cats! (If cat does not care for dog, dog will show the same attitude; if cat is scared of him (and hisses) Usopp tends to get nervous and bark a little and get a little riled up until we calm him down)(quickly corrected his behavior but he still gets nervous, now he just ignores hissing cats). As for teething he mainly plays with his stuff-less toys and his #1 activity is tug-of-war but if he wants attention he will let you know by picking up anything on the floor/reach and bringing it by your feet to chew (ex. Books, pens, paper, socks, sandle) once you catch him and take it away (usopp at least) he resumes playing with me and his toy . He barks minimally and as a watch dog, will bark at anyone unfamiliar in the home. Outside he is very friendly and sociable to smaller dogs.
When leaving the house he does cry a bit but soon stops (ex.getting the mail)
Overall he is full of energy but also loves to be a lap dog as he is a puppy right now.
I would recommend this breed for people who tend to like large dogs but need/want a smaller dog for their living situation.
