At about a year old, she’s bursting with energy and thrives in a home that values daily activity and consistent mental challenges. This girl is dialed into her people—she’s eager to learn, eager to please, and tailor-made for training sessions, running trails, or even picking up a job. Adventurous owners seeking a four-legged trail companion will find her a natural fit. Fetch is at the top of Sadie’s list, so if you own a tennis ball, you’ve already won her over. She relishes a good play session, whether it’s chasing a ball or romping with another high-energy dog—Sadie’s dream home includes a canine buddy who won’t tire out before she does. She’s good with other dogs and should mesh well with kids, though cats are probably not ideal for her. When the day wraps up, Sadie settles well and rests quietly in her crate, both overnight and for a few hours during the day. You’ll need a securely fenced yard and a dog who loves to play as much as Sadie does.
