She is best suited to a property with a large outdoor area where she can safely roam, decompress, and truly feel at ease.<br/><br/>She is not suited to a home expecting a very indoor-oriented dog, as she is most regulated and content when she has consistent access to the outdoors.

She thrives on companionship, outdoor freedom, and clear expectations. In the right home, she will flourish into a devoted and confident companion who truly comes into her own.
