- kid and dog friendly

Loads of personality packed into this little puppy. Full of life and charisma. May come across as disengaged in a big, busy setting such as adoption events BUT she is a completely different dog at home . Yes she is still spunky and playful, but she also wants to be near you, giving you kisses and the funniest little dog hugs. She is more of a lover girl than she lets on at first. She is incredible with kids, and will have the whole family rolling laughing with her antics. She has been in a home with a cat before , she is intrigued but is learning to respect boundaries ; will do well with cats who are more assertive at teaching those boundaries. She is perfectly crate trained , albeit a little talkative at times as she’d rather be right next to her loved ones. Making great strides in her house training as well and learning basic commands. You will not meet a more food motivated dog so you can essentially teach this smart girl anything. She loves other dogs and puppies and is a fan of “big dog” play , so will do best in a home with other like minded playful dogs. She is so sweet and hoping to get a chance to be the perfect addition to your family .
I'm a cute puppy still working on housetraining and crate training. I like to chew on everything, play, eat, and then sleep!
As a puppy, I am required to go to training within 90 days of my adoption with a certified trainer.
