Health Issues

•  None

Temperament

• Bella is a bright girl and learns very quickly.
• She is mentally and bodily sensitive, which means she shows anxiety in many situations that she is not sure of.
• Bella is sensitive to being touched by new people, until trust is built and she feels safe with you. 
• She walks nicely, listens well and responds to verbal cues.
• She is dog reactive at times, which can escalate, and for this reason Bella must be the only dog in her new home and should not go to dog parks or have social time off leash with other dogs. 

Owner Suitability

• Bella needs someone who is very dog savvy & have experience and knowledge about sensitive and anxious dogs.
• She needs calm, consistent and patient handling for her to know and trust you. 
• Force free training, kindness and a laid-back attitude are what Bella needs to bring out the best in her, with patience, as it may take her a longer time to adapt to new environments and situations. 
• Bella must have an adult only home with a fenced in, secure back yard. 
• She will do well with going hiking, having fun car rides and chilling out with you. 
• Bella’s new home requires that she be the only dog, and for her to succeed, there must be no other animals in the household.
