Aka Hatchi. A gentle, observant puppy who prefers to assess new situations before engaging and gains confidence through steady, patient exposure. Hatchi is a thoughtful, observant puppy with a gentle and socially appropriate temperament. He enjoys people and interacts well once comfortable, but tends to approach new situations cautiously, often choosing to watch and process before engaging. With unfamiliar objects or sudden changes, he may initially retreat or dart away, then re-engage as he gains confidence. He plays well with littermates and shows good social awareness, preferring calmer, more intentional interactions over constant high-energy play. Hatchi demonstrates nice recovery once given time to assess new experiences, and his responses continue to improve with steady, low-pressure exposure. Because Hatchi benefits from additional maturity and structured socialization, he will remain with us until approximately 12 weeks of age to support his confidence-building during this important developmental window. This additional time allows him to gain more experience with novelty in a controlled, positive way before transitioning to his new home. Hatchi is best suited for a home that values patience, routine, and thoughtful introductions to new experiences, and he is expected to thrive with consistent guidance and continued socialization.
