Susceptible to seasonal cough as weather changes, normally winter-spring and fall-winter. Easily remedied with OTC cough suppressant.

Can be a little standoffish with unfamiliar people but enjoys the company of people she trusts.
What Cheyenne lacks in confidence, she makes up for in intelligence.
She enjoys thinking games and dog puzzle games (anything that requires her to make decisions).
Sometimes spooks easily by loud noises, sudden movements or raucous surroundings.
May attempt to flee the scene if she is feeling uncomfortable.
Has high prey drive and loves to run, swim, and play.
Likes to learn new things and is very successful at training one-on-one with no distraction.
Her food drive overrides her fear, so Cheyenne is able to learn to trust.
Although not particularly driven by touch, she allows herself to be groomed.
Not the best with other dogs due to her anxious nature, but she has never lived outside of a pack.

Active but calm lifestyle.
Needs a patient human who is willing to work her through her shyness and insecurities.
No kids, due to her insecurities.
Without another dog in her life she will need much love and attention from her new owner.
Requires plenty of daily exercise.
NO CATS.
A fenced yard is a must.
Has never lived in a house, so house training and dog-proofing will be necessary.
Only positive reinforcement should be used to train and interact with this dog.
