She picks up on routines quickly—especially potty training—and responds beautifully to gentle guidance. With just a prompt, she heads right outside, which has made her such an easy puppy to raise. She has a great ability to settle when needed but is always ready to engage and have fun. She absolutely loves toys, other dogs, and any chance to run freely around the yard. Gabby has a joyful, playful energy that’s contagious—she’ll happily entertain herself or invite everyone around her into the fun. She’s especially fond of Daisy and the neighbor kids, showing a naturally social and friendly temperament. She approaches new experiences with curiosity rather than fear, which speaks to her confidence and adaptability. Beyond her playful side, Gabby is incredibly affectionate and loyal. She enjoys being close, often choosing to relax by your side after playtime. She’s attentive, makes great eye contact, and seems very tuned in to people, which will only make her easier to continue training as she grows. She’s also shown early signs of good manners and responsiveness, making her a great fit for a family environment. Bath time might not be her favorite just yet (still a bit of a work in progress!), but that’s completely normal for her age, and she’s already improving with consistency. Overall, Gabby is a sweet, smart, and adaptable puppy with a fantastic temperament. She’s the perfect balance of playful and calm, independent yet loving. Truly a really good girl—I have zero concerns and nothing but great things to say about her.
