Trixie is 2 years old, with a happy, friendly disposition. She loves to be around people and likes to play with people and other dogs. She is snuggly and affectionate. She is strong and athletic. She is friendly to dogs on walks (does pull on leash). We have a small dog that she gets along well with. She gets along ok with the cat she lives with, but a home without cats would be best for her.
She is house trained, but is used to having doggie door access. She will herd active children, so an active home with older kids or no kids would be best for her. She is very trainable and eager to learn! Trixie is spayed and up to date on immunizations.
