Layla is a sweet, smart dog who follows commands and will sit at (or on) your feet whenever she gets a chance. She grew up with our 12-year-old and has been great with him and his friends -- even the ones who are not great with dogs. Layla loves attention and can accept it calmly from her people. She gets very excited when someone comes into the house. She does not jump up but will be pushy about sniffing, and may bark. She will bark when other dogs walk by, or when you play fight with her. Otherwise, she is quiet.
