Around other dogs and even cats, she brings enthusiasm, though her boisterous play can sometimes get a little rowdy. Still, her sweet personality shines through wherever she goes. Jacey does best in a home with a fenced yard to give her space to run—she's not a good fit for apartments or shared-wall living.
