Skye loves car rides, camping, and relaxing at home. She has great quirks like licking empty dessert dishes during TV time and howling along with passing sirens. She knows "sit" and "lay down," and does okay on a leash with a little tendency to tug. While she loves to chase balls, bringing them back isn't part of her game plan! Skye's ideal day revolves around being right by your side, no matter what you're up to! She loves spending time out in a large yard, keeping an eye on things and barking to greet or announce people passing by. Her absolute favorite toys to chew on are antlers, which keep her happily occupied during downtime. Whether you're working outdoors, relaxing, or moving around the house, Skye is happiest simply participating in whatever you are doing. Skye would thrive best in a home with a large, securely fenced yard where she can explore, dig, and indulge her love for chasing squirrels, lizards, and gophers. She is great with older children and loves a balance of activity—like swimming or outdoor fun—and cozy downtime with her family in the evenings. Skye needs to be the only pet in the household, where she can receive all your love and attention without the stress of sharing space with other animals.
