About Barley

Barley is a spirited young pup who brings out the best of both worlds—she’s just as happy chasing toys as she is lounging next to you. There’s a playful side to her, but she’s not the kind of dog who bounces off the walls nonstop; she understands quiet time, especially in her kennel. She usually only barks if you’re right there and not paying her any attention—she knows how to get noticed without being a nuisance. Barley already has sit and stay down, and judging by how eager she is to please, she’ll pick up new tricks quickly. She gets along great with other dogs and people, and she’s still very much a baby at about five months old. Expect her to grow into a large, impressive presence as she matures. Barley would do well in a family that can appreciate her playful and easygoing nature. Not yet house-trained, but with her intelligence, it shouldn’t take long to get her there.
