My intro into this breed was this young girl, she is awesome, unfortunately she developed some internal
problems and we had to have her spayed, she is and will remain a full family member.
No matter what is going on she is right there with you, when mowing the lawn, you will always see her throwing
the ball in front of the mower for a game, this continues until I'm finished.
If working in the yard she will lay right there with you and move only when you walk away.
I have found that this breed is extremely faithful, although they accept all strangers into my yard and are
really playful, i dont think they would hesitate for a moment to protect you from any trouble.
