Meet Strudel — the cutest little low rider bully with a heart of gold. She’s a middle-aged gal (about 5–7 years old), spayed, house-trained, and thriving on love, fun, and tasty enrichment. About Strudel Age & Health:** Approximately 5–7 years old, spayed, up-to-date on vetting. House & Training:** Fully house-trained, wonderfully crate trained (she goes in without a peep). Loves the car. Temperament:** Extremely friendly with all people; excellent at making new friends. Currently living with another male pitty and they are best snuggle buddies. Needs slow intros but is dog friendly. Energy & Focus:** Real drive when playing, but an excellent off switch. Great indoors with a calmer environment; starting to show drive outdoors with supervision. Intelligence & Training:** Clicker trained; very brainy and responsive. Knows “sit” and is learning “down.” A true “brainiac” who thrives on training sessions. Snuggle Level:** Very snuggly and affectionate. Loves couch snuggles under a warm blanket. Crate Manners:** Brings her Kongs directly to her crate — a sign of good motivation and self-control. Bite/Snack Stash:** Underbite is adorable; tongue is often visible and ready for a little squeeze. Vibe:** Quiet and calm most of the time; would be a fantastic apartment dog due to her low bark and serene demeanor. Prey Drive:** High prey drive; not a candidate to live with cats or small animals. Ideal Home for Strudel House Type:** would be a great candidate for apartment type living, originally came from NYC so nothing phases her. Family:** A dog-savvy home with children who understand respectful dog interactions (she’s great with people but supervision is recommended with young kids). Other Pets:** Best as a solo or with confident, dog-experienced canine companions. Definite candidate for a home with another large dog friendly me. Not suitable for homes with cats or small animals due to high prey drive. Exercise & Enrichment:** Regular, short play sessions to satisfy her drive, plus ongoing training to keep her mentally engaged. She enjoys ball play for a few minutes and then happily settles. Living Style:** A warm, cozy spot for couch snuggles is a must. She’s happiest when she can curl up under a blanket with you.
