Keira is an incredibly sweet little lady. She loves to cuddle & will shower you with wet kisses all day long if you let her. She has A LOT of energy so needs a fenced yard to run, & she has jumps to rival LeBron James so a nice, tall fence is needed. She loves walks through the neighborhood - she does still pull some while on a leash so a harness that goes around her chest is recommended. She is still working on commands but knows sit, stay & almost has her “paw” command down. Regular stuffed dog toys are no match for her…she prefers much tougher chew toys and loves a good game of tug of war. She is crate trained & has no issues riding out the work day in her crate as long as she has room to move around, a window to look out of, a chew toy & an oldies radio station to keep her company…a Kong with frozen peanut butter inside is by far her favorite treat! Keira travels well in the car & will jump to the front seat and patiently wait for you if left while you’re in a store (with the A/C on, of course). Keira needs to be the only animal in the home as she is the alpha & has no issues making that known. She would be best for an owner(s) who can give her 100% of their attention. She does love to play with other dogs (cats are hit or miss), but unstructured play that is not monitored can lead to negative results. Short play sessions that can be monitored are best for her. Keira will need patience and ongoing training as most young dogs do. *Note from the original adopter* Rehoming Keira was not a snap decision. But after 6 months it has become obvious she & our other dog of 4 years are not fond of each other…as both want to be the alpha. We also found out we are expecting our first child a few months after adopting Keira. If we were not expecting our first child we would not be rehoming her…I want that to be clear. We debated for several weeks on the best course of action for Keira and did consult professionals. But ultimately we feel we will not be able to give her the attention she needs because of the baby. She does also need professional training and that added expense plus the new baby is not something we can afford. So please don’t look at Keira as a problem dog. She is truly a very fun dog and loving dog. Unfortunately she just needs what we can’t provide her…a lot of attention and some training. She has so much love to give and will make a wonderful pet.
