Hi!
My name is Larkin. I’m an 4 and a half-year old 30 pound female mutty mutt. My Mom and Dad were likely a Lab or Plott Hound, but I probably have American Pitbull terrier cousins. I’ve been spayed, micro-chipped, and have regular visits with my vet. I’ve had obedience training and walk well on leash.
I’m happiest when I’m doing something active with my owners. Want to go on a bike ride? I’ll keep you company. Want to walk or hike? The more miles, the better! Take me to the dog park and you can relax while I romp.
When I’m not active, I like being around my humans. My family’s young kids are fun. Visitors are fine – I’ll bark when they enter to say ‘hi,’ then settle. I’m ok when we visit mom’s parents (they have a cat) or homes with other dogs.
Grain-free dry dog food is yummy – especially if it begins with the word salmon. I do my business outside and will let you know when I need to do so. At night, I like to sleep in one of my beds (my owners said they’ll share them with you).
Two things you should know. First, I don’t like when small dogs bark at me. They make me anxious. Second, a neighbor who confused my barking at his small dog with attacking it, kicked and hit me – and I bit him on the wrist to make him stop. I felt really bad about it – it never happened before and hasn’t happened since.
If you’re an active family with a big yard and kids (if you have them) 10 years old or older, I’m your girl!
