She does great with toys and lowvalue chews, but she'll need simple management like feeding separately and giving highvalue treats in her own space. This is part of who she is, and she'll thrive with a family comfortable with that structure.

She can happily live with another playful dog — a confident male dog may be her best match, or she can be an only dog soaking up all the attention.
