Oakley is the kind of dog who commands attention the moment he enters a space. Bold, outgoing, and full of personality, he approaches the world with confidence and enthusiasm. Always eager to engage, Oakley thrives on interaction and wants to be involved in whatever is happening around him.

Energetic and expressive, Oakley wears his thoughts on his sleeve and isn’t shy about testing boundaries as he learns. He’s quick on his feet, curious by nature, and brings a playful intensity to everyday moments. Whether he’s charging into a new experience or proudly offering his opinion, Oakley keeps life lively.

Highly motivated by engagement, play, and praise, Oakley learns quickly and enjoys a good challenge. He brings drive, determination, and a touch of mischief to his work, reminding us daily that enthusiasm paired with guidance is a powerful thing. Oakley’s vibrant spirit and growing confidence make him an exciting dog to watch mature.

A total of 274 genetic health markers were tested, and Oakley is considered clear of any known hereditary diseases. His results indicate a strong genetic foundation, with no detected variants associated with inherited conditions common to the breed.

Oakley does have one notable finding related to Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) activity. This result suggests that Oakley may naturally have a lower ALT baseline, which is not a disease or disorder, but rather a variation that can be helpful for veterinarians to know when interpreting future bloodwork. This finding does not impact his health or quality of life.
