Hi, my name is Madeline and I am from Arkansas! Very affectionate - especially with our kids (10 and 14) Very energetic and playful - puppy energy Does well with crate - sleeps in it at night and sometimes goes in there just to relax Does well with cats - barks at them and wants to play but shows no aggression Was timid about going outside but is getting better after a lot of routine - so she's still being house trained but is learning fast! Will use pee pads if placed by door. Does well around non-aggressive dogs.
