Here's what the humans have to say about me:
COMING SOON IN DRIPPING SPRINGS, TX
Pearl is 2.5 years old and a GREAT little girl who was just not given the socialization or structure she desperately needed, and therefore is insecure/timid, and had resource guarding issues. We got over the food/toy issues very quickly and are now working on socialization and building up her confidence so she doesn't flinch at everything 😅 (who knew a chip bag could be so scary! lol) She's still weary of strangers but settled down fairly well when I had friends over and they just gave her space.
She's extremely agile and fast, a petite build at approx 40lbs, so she'd probably be amazing at agility, flyball (she's obsessed with balls!) etc, or a great running partner. Definitely NOT an apartment dog. 😉
She has done wonderful with our mellow 7-yr old Aussie, and would probably do best in a home with calm & confident doggy friend(s) to give her structure and reinforce how a pack should work.
