Spoiled rotted from being hand raised, Straights is a unique dire. He thinks that he is eternally puppy sized and can fit in anyone's lap. He enjoys treats, scratches, and cuddles. He's not overly playful, more relaxed and happy to please. He is dedicated to his handler with a fierce loyalty and while he is as sweet as honey with people he knows, his dam's personality comes through when meeting strangers. He can be stand offish, aggressive and protective, especially when it comes to guarding his handler. He seems to enjoy wandering and exploring, a trait most likely inherited from his sire.
