Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Have you been waiting for me? I've been waiting for you! Yes, it's me, Orange! Let me tell you a bit about my awesome self!
- I'm the most 'chill & laidback' of my siblings. So I take things in stride pretty well, and like to think before I act. Unfortunately people somehow think this means less energy, but this is NOT so in ANY way! I am just as full of 'the beans' as they say. I just have less drama ;)
- I am VERY curious, and am usually the first one up, in, or around a new thing to check it out. Like my siblings I'm very athletic, and enjoy climbing and exploring!
- I am the most 'alert' of the puppies, and I'm gonna tell you if I see something. Please help me learn what are concerns, and what aren't :)
- I am the most independent puppy. I'm usually the last to come inside, the last to eventually check in on you in the bathroom, and don't have to change rooms just because you went to grab something. So if you like a dog that gives you a little space, then I'm your girl! (But I'm still watching you ;) )
- I'm pretty good with kids! I'm doing well with sitting politely, and am happy to seek them out for attention. I prefer a calmer environment, to one that is overly loud and stimulating. I'm reasonably persons social, and otherwise neutral.
- I am VERY food motivated, and I pick up super fast what pays out. I can be a little hard mouthed when I take the treat, so I am learning not to take the fingers as well 😅
- I am a softer in temperament puppy, so like to be built up, and encouraged. As long as you treat me fairly, we'll get along just fine!
- I am good with most dogs, and though I haven't met a cat yet, as long as you put the training in, I should do just fine!
- I'm good in my crate, the car, a pro for my nails, and love the vet!
- Lizz calls me 'thunder thighs', and says I'm going to be built like a runner! I LOVE to run, and am hoping to try our Lure Coursing once it opens for the season. Maybe that will be with you?
As you can see, I'm pretty amazing. Hopefully I'll hear from you soon!
