My name is Pepper!

Our beloved Pepper was purchased at Shake-a-Paw. She is 4 years old. All members of our household love pepper. Pepper has never been crate-trained. She is not destructive when left home alone. She is extremely intelligent. She knows various commands, sit, stay, wait, no, come, etc. She loves lots of attention. She is very protective and loyal and tends to be territorial.

We desire to have her adopted by someone who does not have children - since we never evaluated her with children. She enjoys the outdoors and would require a backyard. She has a lot of energy. She is a herding dog and tends to nip when triggered by strange people entering her environment. She requires time to get used to new people. However, if she is in an environment other than her home she is shy and nervous but doesn't nip or bark aggressively. All we want is for Pepper to be happy. We are putting her up for adoption due to my elderly father coming to live with us and he is highly allergic to animals.
