Taffy was often overlooked at the crowded shelter we picked her up from, but their volunteers rooted for her and let us know what a special girl she was. And WOW she has lived up to be that and SO much more! Taffy is incredibly friendly and social in any situation. She loves humans and shows no fear in making new friends immediately. We especially adore how intuitive Taffy is, when it comes to meeting new people -- matching her energy to the human AND most importantly, the size of the human. She can be energetic when she wants to play but is incredibly gentle with kids. Taffy is equally amazing with other dogs (duh). She loves wrestling and roughhousing with her bulldog friends, but changes her play style around smaller dogs. Taffy is housetrained, can be left alone unattended, and has impeccable leash manners. We think Taffy would do well in just about any sort of home setting, including apartments and those with stairs.
