Bear's story
Green/Purple, kids 8+ (see notes) Dog tolerant.
Bear is a pretty nice dog, she is normally spending her time lounging in her kennel and greeting passersby. When you go to get her out of the pen she remains calm for the most part, but she can be a puller at times.
She is social, and often seeking attention from the handlers in the room. She was good for her handling test, but we found that the poor lady has some very itchy skin so she can get easily distracted. But once that gets medically cleared up we will see a bit more of her real personality.
She does not seem to startle easily, and we never really got the chance to correct her since she did not do anything that we thought she needed corrected for. However, we do know that she is going to need some work on house training, and her basic house manners.
During her food test she allowed the handling, even though it made her a little uncomfortable. But at no point did she show any signs of aggression. However, with any dog you should ere on the side of caution, and not allow children near a dog when it is eating, or chewing on something, always feed pets separate, and if the dog has something it should not. Trade for it, never just grab it. Just grabbing it away can start to make guarding behavior develop, because they will think you want to take everything away from them.
She did very well with meeting new people and greeted them politely. She also seemed to be tolerant of the other dog. She did not go out of her way to make friends, but she was willing to greet them, then went about her marry way exploring the outdoors.
Over all Bear seems like a nice dog. She was brought in because of not doing well with the smaller kids. We do think that if the kids are respectful then they should do fine with her, she just needs to be around kids that hopefully understand that she is not to be hung on or things of that nature. She is going to fit in well with most families, she just needs the right fit.
