You've made a best friend. Only-Child Status: Brownie wants all your love to herself! She needs to be the only dog in the home (no dog parks, please). Fitness Partner: Ready for walks and runs, she's perfect for an active lifestyle. Kid-Approved: She has successfully spent time with children as young as 5. Leans Into Love: While warming up, she prefers "petting" you with her body rather than being handled directly. Ready to add a whole lot of laughter to your life? Brownie can't wait to meet you!
