I can be scared and react to other dogs, especially if they surprise me or are big dogs. I hate the heat, and I love the rain and snow. I love water, and all sort of toys. I will destroy them, especially to find a squeaker. I am very treat motivated and am working on "leave it" so I don't eat everything in sight.“
