Nahla loves food, hikes, the outdoors, getting her butt scratched, and protecting the property by barking at deer, turkeys, and other four-legged animals. She loves her people family, friends, neighbors, etc. She is a silly girl who is either running around like crazy, sunbathing, or taking a nap.
She has the tendency to get the zoomies when shes excited/has a lot of energy, which is adorable, but can sometimes have a challenge controlling her body. She can be jumpy, licks faces, and gives love nips, but listens well when given the proper cues (knee up and hand in the face), and is guided by treats. She will scratch doors if she is locked up for an extended period of time or wants to eat dinner or breakfast. Nahla loves her crate and will put herself in there if she wants to feel safe.
Nahla struggles with other female dogs. She has never attacked another dog but will stand still and tall and show her teeth if they approach her. She has demonstrated that she plays well with other male dogs but hasnt interacted with many dogs over the past 4 years. She has been a farm dog for quite some time (no collar, minimal leash walks, no electric fence). Nahla is great with property lines. She can be let outside with no oversight and stays on the property. We used long lining when we moved to our property in 2019 and has understood her territory ever since.
Nahla has never done anything wrong and deserves a great home. Shes going to do best on a rural property where she has freedom to roam. She would likely struggle in a small home/urban setting.
