She's young, likely between one and two years old, and blends a big, silly personality with clear intelligence. Liesel has already picked up basic commands and waits with anticipation, especially when food is involved—she's highly motivated by treats and learns quickly.

Liesel is playful and independent, happiest outdoors where she can explore, sniff, and stretch her legs. She loves going to the dog park, wandering trails, and splashing in streams.

A fenced yard is a plus, but what matters to Liesel is adventure and time with her people. She’s easygoing in the car and eager to join in wherever you go. Indoors, she’s ready to wind down and soak up affection, enjoying belly rubs and downtime on the couch after a day of fun.
