I'd call Thor a mellow yellow when he wants to be. He's either on or off, as we like to say. His energy bursts are at a pretty consistent time of day so we try to plan our play times and walks around that, then the rest of the time he's perfectly happy hanging out in our offices (we both work from home) napping or just relaxing. His energy bursts don't last very long, either. He'll GO GO GO for a few minutes and then take a break. It helps that his best friend (our neighbor's boxer) has a similar energy level so they play together really well.
Our breeder actually kind of warned us about it - of his four-pup litter, he was by far the mellowest. He had three crazy sisters, and we were waiting for a male and he was the only one. We were told that he was lower energy than his sisters, but in the same breath the breeder sighed and said, "I wish we were keeping him". He's definitely mellow for his age (6 mos), but has gobs of personality even when not crazy, so I love it!
