My story

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


BORN JULY 29, 2025: I got her in September off gooddog.com and thought the breeder was reputable. I purchased initially under the guise that I would make her a therapy dog for my daughter who has level 3 autism. She is great with my daughter occasionally too excited for her at which point I would separate them. I kept her on lead full time up until a month ago. Now she gets more free rein around the house. She does not tear up the house or objects she is not supposed to. The issue I have is she has an issue with resource guarding, mainly with things she finds outside now and VERY back of the pack oriented so she is afraid of everything. I have socialized her ALOT I am a SAHM and have lots of free time for it but so I am absolutely devastated, i have put so much effort into all this but I feel she needs a more experienced handler for the level of issues she has displayed. she is not fixed yet. I was waiting until she had her first heat
