She loves her ball, even if she doesn't always bring it back! She is good with kids and cats and other dogs, though she needs to learn to not jump on dog's backs. This suggests she might be a bit of an alpha dog. When She tries to engage in play with Lupe, her co-foster, Lupe is not interested and starts to close down. Penny is respectful enough to let her be. She will need some obedience training for sit command, and especially stay command as she is a little bit pushy. She also is a puller, and shows more respect to the easy walk harness and even more so with the halter. We recommend her with older children as she has a tendency to jump and she could knock a small child down. There is some resource guarding, but she didn't snap at me when I tested her, however, it is clear she is not in favour of someone touching her food and has the potential to bite if a child got in the way. If…
