She dose not allow her nails to be trimmed. She will alert bark when someone approaches their house or yard. She will follow her family around when they are home and likes to play with stuffed toys, squeaky toys, and chew bones. She has been an indoor dog, sleeps wherever, and eats both wet and dry food.

She walks off leash and stays near her owner.
Behavior Notes:
Prada was very lethargic in the office and did not move from her spot. She allowed counselor to collar her with ease.
