She is a very sweet dog. She loves attention and being around her owner. She rarely barks. She loves giving and receiving love. She is greedy so you can’t free feed her because she will eat it all in under 5 mins. A schedule once in the morning and once at night will be okay. She also loves kids not so great with cats at all and not good with female dogs.

Our puppies had puppies...unplanned. So we have to rehome 2 female puppies. They are 9 weeks old. We have both the parents in our home. The puppies are very strong, healthy, playful and SMART! They are active and love human interaction. Looking for their new homes to have loving and attentive pet parents since we have spoiled and doted on them. They are wonderful little puppies.
