Raphael van de Veluwe, call name "Eloy," resides in the Netherlands with
Tamaskan van de Veluwe.
Eloy is a social and sweet dog to the people he knows. He likes to cuddle and give kisses and he is very playful. He does not like to be touched by unknown people but is not afraid of people and can be taken to crowded areas. He just prefers to ignore unknown people. Nevertheless, he is also in training as a SAR (search and rescue) dog, in which he has to find missing persons, and he likes to do that.
Eloy has little hunting instinct and can therefore run free in safe places. He gets along well with cats. In general, Eloy also gets along well with other dogs. He can be alone for several hours with another dog.
