Ripley is very people orientated and wants to be with his people at all times. I do crate him at night on occasion and he is very well behaved in his crate! If you tell him to "kennel up" or even just stand at the door of the crate he goes right in and sits down (waiting for his treat of course). He is an active dog and would do well going for walks or jogging but also loves to cuddle on the couch. Really, as long as he is with his people, he is happy! He will even lay outside the bathroom door and wait for you to come back out. He's agile enough to jump a baby gate to be in a room with you ;) He is awesome, has a huge heart and a lot of love to give.
