She is black and grey, smaller sized but strongly built, extremely athletic and body aware. She is approximately 22” and 50 pounds. She exceptionally sweet, and is highly social with both people and dogs. She is very stable and brave; excellent in all environments. At 18 months old she flew in the cabin of a plane across the country, handling the airport, the plane, and the rental car situation all without issue. She actually seeks out strange surfaces and finds them interesting. Prima has very high prey drive and is stimulated by moving animals, but things such as runners, bikes, and skateboards don’t interest her. She can get over aroused by other dogs running, but she redirects to work, food, and toys easily. She has high fight drive and loves to bite and tug even more than she likes to chase. Prima is thoughtful and extremely clear headed. She is not noise sensitive. She has a very happy and interactive personality. She is bright, sweet, and cheerful, and she is extremely affectionate and snuggly. She prefers to lay in your lap or on your chest when possible!
