Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No children (under 13)
Recommendations comments:: King appears to easily startle and become uncomfortable with up close handling, for these reasons we advise against a home with children at this time.
Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity,Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Handling/touch sensitivity:King has been noted to become uncomfortable with handling at times, especially when a person is reaching over him. It is important to always go slow and give King the option to walk away from any social interaction. King should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be King’s choice to approach a new person or thing. King may do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings. Fearful:King is nervous with new people. He manages his stress well and has not escalated or shown any aggression, but he does need time to warm up to new people. He does best with a slow approach, and should be permitted to greet new people at his own pace and to initiate interaction (rather than being approached and pet immediately by a new person) so he has time to adjust and become comfortable before he is handled. He should be spoken to softly and gently.
