Here is what I typed up for Ruth: Ruth is a one year old black lab/shepherd mix. She is so sweet and loves attention but won't pry for it. Outside she is highly energetic and could run forever. She plays great with other dogs. Also does well with children. She can be a handful on leash but has learned to go to the bathroom on walks. Inside she loves to play with toys but will destroy them. I recommend something she can chew on consistently to keep her entertained. She won't destroy furniture or jump on counters. She can get spooked easily by new things or things being moved around in the house. The main one would be ceiling fans being turned on or off. She has never gone to the bathroom in the crate. She is all and all a great dog. Has the loving personality and the energy of a shepherd. She would thrive in a yard and with a playmate.
