Additional info: This girl came to us pretty ragged and uncared for. But after a trip to the doggie spa she looks like a million bucks. She was sensitive about her face so we left it long and now she looks like a little white lion She gets along well with other dogs, is good on the leash and is a quiet little girl. She is a one woman/man dog and bonds deeply and is completely loyal. Perhaps because of her experiences running on the streets she is leery about being handled inappropriately but she will settle down if approached on her terms. She especially doesn't like her face or butt being touched too much and she may try to nip if approached too quickly or randomly touched. For this reason we do not recommend her for a home with young kids at this time. She is so cute they would want to pet her and she's not ready for that yet.
