My story

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

11/15: I've had Rhia in my office today for some TLC. She is a perfect little princess! She walks great on a leash and has been snuggly and friendly all day long. She seems to know how to sit, or she just really likes sitting. She gets a waggy tail when she meets dogs and kids. She likes to play with a plushie toy and wrestle with it. 10/10 good girl

ACT AO and I completed a dog test today 11/16 with Big Mac #50622, a medium/large male, and Rhia #50902, a small/medium female.

Rhia was first in the yard. Big Mac was interested in her as soon as he arrived in the bull pen and sniffed extensively around the fence. Both sniffed each other with wagging tails, Big Mac had a looser posture. When we opened the door, Big Mac ran towards Rhia and his collar broke off. He was hormonally motivated but moved away when corrected by handlers, then re-collared and leashed him.

When we introduced them for the second time, Rhia was slightly stiff and sat down. Big Mac necked her repeatedly but was corrected and listened to corrections. He attempted to initiate play with bowing and air chomps, but Rhia wasn't interested. They both went their separate ways and seemed relaxed and unbothered. She is gentle/dainty, he is gentle in play but hormonal.
