My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nessie is a young energetic girl full of joy and loves to play ball. She has a frisky and comical personality. She’s eager to please you and easy to train as she wants nothing more than your attention. She lightly pesters the house cats but nothing serious—she responds quickly to a “leave it.” She’s a little forceful in play and doesn’t know her size when playing with tiny dogs. She does very well with medium to large dogs that don’t mind the Shepherd style of play. She goes willingly into her crate and remains quiet after some initial complaining. Nessie is learning to walk on a leash very nicely though you must let her know at the outset that it isn’t playtime. Once that is established she does not continue to test the boundary. She’s just started pacing with a bicycle, a great way to expend some energy! She is lanky and built rather lightly weighing 68lbs. She’s expected to fill out to a healthy 70-75lbs. She has decent guarding instincts barking only when someone approaches the home. She’s good with kids but gets a little to excited during play. A home where childen are 10 or older would be the perfect spot for her. Nessie needs an active person or family to share her life with
