Ali has been a joy since day one. She does not act like your typical 10 year old dog; she loves to play and has good energy. We have 3 dogs and she gets along great with all of them. We also have 2 cats and she does have a prey drive and will chase them around but she does not harm them. She is great with kids and she knows sit, paw and lay down commands very well. Ali loves to gives kisses and loves her bones and treats. When we took her to our local dog park she loved it and did great with all of the other dogs! She is a pretty independent dog but is still very affectionate. She has a very thick coat and will require frequent brushings to keep it from becoming matted. She can be goofy and is very sweet so she would be a great match for any home.
