Health Issue(s)

• None

Temperament

• Sweet girl with a great personality.
• Faithful and loyal to her Human. Her favourite spot is snuggled up close by her people.
• She is highly attuned to people, and will work at helping you (nudging, licking, etc.) if you are feeling emotional.
• She selects her dog companions carefully, choosing dogs closer to her own size versus smaller breeds.
• Her prey drive is at times present, and her new owner will need to be alert, and quick to respond.
• She enjoys being outside and loves the water.
• Knows many commands.
• Enjoys fetch with her ball.

Owner Suitability

• Experience with large breed dogs, especially German Shepherds, is an asset.
• Someone active and in good physical health.
• Lucy would be happiest in a home with no other animals and where there are people around for a large portion of the day.
• She will happily take the lead over people and other dogs if her Handler does not know how to lead and motivate her.
• She demonstrates moderate to high energy level, and will require an active owner.
• She will bark at strangers if left unsupervised, but will stop with a firm voice command.
• Hasn’t been tested with cats, only other dogs. She can be reactive with small dogs, especially white dogs.
