Dollie is a pretty remarkable dog, with unremarkable markings. I wouldn't mention that to her though...she is working through some minor confidence issues. Aren't we all, though? She's a Shepherd Mix, that's absolutely, kind of, low energy, not outwardly pushing herself on you, but loves affection. She expects you to earn her trust, as do most GSD's, but in a gentle, work up to it kind of way. She's not going to chase the wildlife....especially not frogs. Frogs really scare Dollie! That sweet girl isn't really a go-getter...unless it is to get away from a frog. Side note: Did you know that the scientific term for that is "ranidaphobia?" Side note two: the mail carrier is probably always safe and therefore your amazon packages are too. So, basically, if you are an introverted ranidaphobic with Prime, then she is perfect for you. Just throwing that out there!

Dollie, once warmed up, will play with other dogs, but absolutely has the mentality that everything is hers. She becomes possessive and requires constant correction to break this habit. It's a bit like working with a cute, furry toddler who thinks everything is hers. So, with proper introductions and good training, she could go to a home with other another dog. She is appropriate for households with children age 10 and over. Dollie is good on a leash (probably because she's scared of everything and frogs literally jump out of anywhere here in PA), but never tested off-leash. She's a kind soul with trust issues. She's an old soul in a young girl's body. Honestly, you'd never find a dog with the potential to be more attached to you, than Dollie could be, as long as you don't break her trust.
