She is the sweetest of dogs! We just had an infant and she is amazing with her. That being said, we have too many living creatures in our house. We would only let her go to a proper home. Just went to the vet and everything checked out well. She is almost 3.

Story
We got Willow as a 12 week old puppy back in 2021 and shortly after we got Reba in the summer of 22. Both are from breeders. Shortly after that I went back to work and we realized this was more than we could handle. We have tried to stick through it and find ways to keep them but have realized recently this is just not possible. We love them very much. They are sweet couch potatoes and good cuddlers, but they also need a lot of exercise and running and we do not have time to keep up with their energy. They love to run and chase bunnies and squirrels and go for long jogs. Willow 10/21/21 Reba 4/11/22

Story
Nugget60 poundsI love to be around people and especially to play ball with them. I can also be destructive with plush toys. So have some spare toys on hand for me!I am fine hanging out with mellow girls. I don`t play with them but rather hang out.I would do best in a home with no feline friends, but I am good with kids that are older only because I like toys and if you have one in your hand, I might try and take it from you.I do know several behaviors and am happy to please.I am also crate trained and enjoy having it as my safe place
