Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Introducing Franie! Franie is a beautiful dog who looks like maybe a Dutch Shepherd type cross. She is 2 years old and weighs around 60lbs.
Franie is a very intelligent girl, has lots of energy and does well with dogs and cats. She understands her place and doesn't attempt to become the "alpha" member of the family as long as you have full grasp of master/pet dynamics at onset. She NEEDS to understand that she cannot do as she pleases. Having said that, she clearly needs to be in a home that has space and calm.
Franie doesn't have a need to be dominant. She will be very easy to train with basics. Her only problematic flaw is her desire to run off. She sees freedom to roam as inherent. When doing so, she can and has acted aggressively towards other people BUT never bitten anyone. Bark is loud and doesn't bite. She needs to be taught that protecting zones that aren't hers is not acceptable, hence the need to train her to stay on her own grounds.
Besides this, Frannie is an excellent pet, very intelligent and loves and protects her house once she knows it. As soon as she warms up to the people around her, count on her to be your best friend forever.
This beauty would love an active home, that can give her the exercise and training that she needs and deserves.
