She is sweet and friendly, a little skittish at times. This pups adorable , playful , get along with other dogs and our house cat. She still needs help walking on a leash...too much noise , people and other dogs but she enjoys sitting on the porch and watch them go by. She is now potty trained except the occasional fright that makes her wet the floor . She'd do well in a home with a backyard to run in and another dog to play with . She loves toys to chew and tennis balls to chase. She has shown no aggression over toys , meals or sharing her people! She is getting to be quite the snuggler during tv time. She loves shows with animals! When meeting people she is initially scared and will run and hide but does warm up. INew objects in the home also frighten her so needs to be introduced to them. She is a happy puppy . Loves to play chase with us adults in the home. Crates well ...Sleeps through the night and will crate 2-3 hours a day with out complaint.
