Other Pets
• Enjoys being around dogs.
• she is unsure about cats, and barks at them, though her long-term compatibility with cats is not totally clear. My cats can be friendly, but tend to avoid the dogs, so they don't want much to do with her when she barks at them, we've done some introduction, but the cats don't like to be barked at.
Ideal Home
Basil would thrive with a family committed to providing plenty of appropriate chew outlets, enrichment activities, and continued training. This little has some smarts and she is trainable. She would enjoy a busy home while also appreciating time to relax after play sessions
