She gets your attention to play when she wants. She doesn't want you messing with her at times. She will dribble a tennis ball across the house when she wants to play. She wants her petting early in the morning before I go to work, and then when I come home. She is very protective. Any unusual sound from outside and she explodes into a barking fit. As far as someone that breaks into the house. They would be better to deal with the dog than they would me. Not that I am tough, I just have a good aim. . She love to take a ride. I am looking for a pontoon boat to add to my fishing equipment. It will be perfect for her and her little Bulldog brother.
