Story
Skye is a good dog but needs to be the only dog. She is very hesitant meeting men as it took her about 4 months to warm up to me. Loves to go on walks. Is high energy. Loves to eat and counter surf so beware. Loves her stuffed animals and will destroy them and pull out the stuffing. Loves to play tug of war. She can be reactive at times on walks, so she needs an experienced adopter. Has a high prey drive. Enjoys cuddle time but also her own time.
