Personality

Loyal once bonded:

With “her” people, she can relax, take treats, sniff, and just be a dog. She loves walks and sniffing all the smells.

Smart and trainable:

She’s been making steady progress with positive reinforcement training. She is very food motivated (give her all the peanut butter!) and extremely smart.

Prefers calm environments:

A quieter home suits her better than a very busy one with constant new people.
