Very easy going and eager to please. Dream dog for a 1st time dog owner.

House trained, uses the dog door. Great with kids of all ages. Seems fine left alone, but we do have another dog at the house. She loves dogs. I would guess dogs of all sizes. We have a 55 lb male. She’s very happy go lucky with ours and not too invasive as some dogs can be.

She did fine when left to roam in the house with our dog for half the day on Sunday. She is cautious with new people but not freaked out. Even with us sometimes she forgets that she loves us and takes time to warm up, but we’ve only had her for 9 days.

She has low to moderate energy. Walks fine on a leash. No pulling but will need guidance if you want her to stay on 1 side of you. lol Her butt has a mind of its own when she’s happy. It will take her where her mind didn’t realize she wanted to go.

She has been sleeping at the foot of the bed but would easily go back to sleeping beside the bed on the floor. She does not roam around the house at night.

She will chase cats but with no desire to harm. I’m teaching her not to chase.

She does fine in a car.

Very rarely barks.
