*****************

Marigold is an absolute joy in her foster home. She is very fun-loving, playful and sweet. She LOVES chew toys but needs extra tough chews because she is definitely a chewer. She is also incredibly smart and enjoys playing with her dog puzzle toy, which she is very good at solving! As she is so smart, she has picked up basic training with ease using positive reinforcement. She responds to commands to sit and lay down and she is currently working on "leave it". She also knows how to sit calmly and wait before coming out of her crate and sits and stays before exiting and entering the house. She walks well on leash, so long as she has the opportunity to exert all of her puppy energy. When she gets to run around her fenced yard a bit prior to walks, she does beautifully! Marigold is crate trained though does not like to be crated for prolonged periods, however, she does very well sleeping in her crate overnight.

Marigold is extremely active and will definitely need to go to an active family that has the time to properly exercise her. She enjoys several long walks daily in addition to playtime in the yard with the resident family dog, whom she adores. She has been thriving having her older, confident foster sister as a role model. She is great with other dogs in general, including play dates with the neighbor dog.

Although Marigold is young and very active, she certainly enjoys quiet moments and is a wonderful snuggler! When she is finished playing , she'll often climb up on the couch and either cuddle or lay across a lap, which is very endearing.
