Prima
Prima is a 5 year old, very sweet, dark black and tan girl who was an owner turn in to the Modesto pound. This elegant beauty is every inch a House Princess, and has exemplary house manners.
Easy-going, cuddly, very patient and loving, she's housebroken and completely trustworthy in the house. She's used to sleeping loose in the house on a dogbed, no need for a crate, thank you very much. She takes treats very gently, she really doesn't know how to play with toys but she loves to chew on a bone. She does well in a car, and while she pulls a bit on lead at first, she's very easily corrected.
Prima gets along with most dogs although she can be a little dominant with younger, obnoxious dogs if they get in her face. While she's interested in cats, she will back off if she gets a good swipe on the nose. She shows some prey drive with smaller critters such as squirrels and chickens.
A home with a pool and an owner who is around most of the day would be just the ticket for her. She would be fine as an only dog, or with another respectful, laid-back companion.
This is a Level 2 Dog
