Lady loves to play, socialize, and has a lot of energy and could play for hours with her other dog friends. At the same time she loves to sit by your feet while she happily chew on her toy. She is very sweet and loves pets. It is important to note that she will be best in a home with another dog and a home without children. She has food resource guarding and should always be fed separately from other dogs and people, undisturbed.
We have put in many hours of professional dog training and she is very good with her basic commands, is potty trained, knows how to use a doggy door to go out to the yard and poop and pee outside, and sleeps comfortably on her doggie bed at night by herself. She is independent and is not anxious when we go out for errands and loves meeting new people, kids and adults alike and dogs. We recommend someone who has a lot of experience with dogs and other medium or large size dogs. She is a wonderful pup who wants to be by your side, to make you happy and to share her joy of life with you.
