Dande would do best in a home that can give her a lot of attention. preferably an active owner as she loves running and going for walks! She is also a cuddle bug, and low energy in house. unless playing!

Interesting quirks/behavior:
-adores her person
-loves to play. I recommend that only older children and adults play with her due to her size and strength!!!
-treat motivated knows sit, lay down, paw, etc.
-listens very well
-snuggle bug
-always seeking pets and affection
-enjoys car rides
-high prey drive, but has been around a domestic bunny with no issues!


Dande has a severe allergy to chicken! if she eats anything that has chicken in the ingredients she will break out in hives and become extremely itchy.
Dandelion is a flight risk!!! if she gets out she will run and run! Its important to always have her on a leash and closed in yard.
Dande has is great with dogs but needs caution around strange dogs.

Dande The Diva! i call her that because thats exactly what she is, a diva!! Shes the most loving, well behaved dog i have ever had in my care. Shes loving,cuddly,playful, and trained very well i must add! Shes the whole package! Did i mention shes great with kids? She currently resides with children of all ages 2-15 years of age and shes gentle around the toddlers. She never growled or barked at a person. Besides when someone knocks on the door. This girl has a beautiful soul, and she deserves to find her person. If you are interested in dande or have any other questions please feel free to ask!
