She can be a little shy at first when meeting new people, but with just a few minutes of patience she quickly warms up, greeting you with happy tail wags and even puppy kisses.This playful girl adores being around other dogs and would love a canine playmate, though shed also be happy as the only dog in the home. Genie has even lived with cats - she may try to playfully chase them now and then, but its all in good fun and she just needs to learn that they aren't always ready to play.Like most puppies, Genie is still learning her manners. Shes about halfway there with housetraining, is working on leash skills, and sometimes mouths gently when excited during play. Shes very eager to learn and will thrive in a home committed to continuing her training and providing her with regular exercise and structure.Genie's ideal home would be a house (not a condo or apartment) where she can enjoy space to play, daily adventures, and lots of love.
