About Echo

Echo has a strong, athletic presence that quickly wins people over. She’s packed with energy and demands an owner who is confident and experienced—someone ready to match her intensity. Fully house trained and well-versed in basic commands, Echo proves both loyal and independent. She’s a funny, affectionate companion with a protective streak. She shines around people and gets along well with other dogs off leash, but can show some leash reactivity and resource guarding behaviors when around other dogs. Echo's best fit is a home without young children. A household with someone who understands how to channel her drive and independence will get the most out of what she offers. Don’t expect her to cling to you every moment—she’ll follow her own nose, but she’ll always circle back. If an active, clever sidekick is what you’re after, Echo could be just the ticket.
