My story

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

Zoom, zoom – Gwen is an active and agile little girl who knows how to play hard, work hard, and love hard! Especially when it comes to charming those around her. She loves to bounce into your lap and give you sloppy kisses and then snuggle up - or run play some more. She is very intelligent and learns quickly! Positive reinforcement is a must since she has a sensitive personality in spite of all her pizazz. She is still worried about new people at first but innately social and usually ends up in their lap within a minute or two.

Gwen loves to play or hang out with her doggie friends. She enjoys going out in all kinds of weather and wouldn't mind trying her paw at hiking and camping.

Gwen may have watched too many re-runs of Entrapment or parkour videos online and thinks nothing of climbing a 4-5’ fence/barrier. Thus, we require a 6’ fence for safety. And wouldn't agility classes (or maybe barn hunt) be fun to try?

Gwen does engage in fence aggression with one of the neighbor's dog but is slowly getting better about it.

Gwen is pretty much housetrained as long as she gets to follow a good routine. She is crate trained. She has been introduced to walking on a leash and does well all things considered.

We guestimate that Gwen is 6-7 months old per mid January. She looks like she is a border collie mix but with something smaller in her as well.

Unknown about cats; she sometimes reacts when she sees them but appears to be getting better.
