Hazel is 12 years old. She is the sweetest, easiest dog we could have imagined. She is a major cuddle bug and loves to lounge around the house and cuddled up next to us. When she's indoors, she's very calm but loves a good walk, fetch, and sunbathing on the balcony/patio.
Hazel has been around older toddlers and young children and has been gentle and sweet. She has handled grabby hands and crying well but has only been exposed to our friends' and family's children for a few hours or days at a time.
With dogs, Hazel is mostly calm but she is dog-reactive meaning that if another dog shows aggression towards her, she will react defensively. We have always avoided letting her spend time around other dogs out of an abundance of caution.
We are looking to rehome for personal reasons that I’m happy to divulge via direct message for anyone seriously interested.
