Bavaria

Bavaria aka Ari is a small ball of energy with a big heart! She is smart, loyal, and loves everyone person she meets! Her favorite activities include cuddles, walks, and naps with her pup friends. Ari gets along with dogs her size and smaller. She is 42 pounds. It takes her some time to warm up to bigger dogs, but she does have a few large breed friends that she's made while with her foster family. Her foster family runs a doggie daycare and boarding service from their home and while Ari get along with most of the dogs, we think she'd be happiest in a home with only 1 or 2 other pups. Ari hasn't encountered any cats so we don't know how she will do with feline company. She hasn't been around kids but based on her temperament we think she would be fine around older respectful kids. Ari is fully crate trained and housebroken. She uses the doggie door and takes her meals in her crate. Ari is VERY food motivated. She'll run into her crate to let you know that she's ready to eat or if she thinks she's about to get a treat. She also LOVES the scent of her human and will bring a stray shoe or sock into her crate. Only one of each though because Ari knows sharing is caring. LOL! She won't damage the item and will gladly relinquish it without a fight. We have noticed mild resource guarding during meal times around other dogs. Ari will growl if a dog comes close to her bowl but we it is mostly posturing. She has never demonstrated any sort of resource guarding with people. Video of her manners. https://youtu.be/iMnENrFlSNM Ari has come a long way with leash training and with consistent walks she will continue to improve. She is manageable and does not pull as much. She does well on car rides too. What we love about her is that she will match your energy. If you are sitting around, she'll sit with you. If you are outside on a stroll, she'll love that too.
