When unfamiliar people approach the door he barks and run to get owner and wait till they get up. When unfamiliar people approach you he isn’t bothered.

Pepper is described as being playful and gentle with medium activity level. Her favorite thing to do is watch t.v or playing with her toy ball or rattle. When home she likes to follow you around or greet you from a long day. Mostly kept indoors she was free fed dry Pedigree food. Her favorite treats are Cheeze Its! She is house trained and rarely has any accidents within the home.
