Around strangers Fifi is very friendly and playful she likes to  approach the individual for soft pets. She has lived in home with children of ages 9 and 10. Around the children Fifi is playful and likes to take naps with them.  Fifi has lived in a home with other dogs and is usually friendly and allows the dogs to approach her and engage in play.

Behavior:

Fifi often defecates indoors and destroys the furniture in the home. During Storms or fireworks, Fifi isn’t bothered.  If an individual tries to touch Fifi’s food bowl she isn’t bothered and allows it to be removed. Fifi loves to be held and is very affectionate.  During bathing Fifi is slightly tense but will allow the individual to wash her. When an unfamiliar person or family member comes to the house or approaches the owner, Fifi barks at first, but becomes playful when the person approaches.
