Opal

My story

Opal is an affectionate, silly, 4yr old, 105lb girl that needs to get out on a piece of property and stretch her beautiful long legs for longer than just a few short outings each day. Even though she’s primarily kenneled, Opal is still a happy girl that will really thrive in the country, with a fenced, large area for her to run and explore. At least an 1/2 acre or more would be ideal! If she hears something amiss, she will let out her big booming bark to chase off unwanted guests and critters. Although she really is a sweet, submissive, very affectionate girl with her people. Her deep bark makes strangers think twice about coming in unless invited. She’s the perfect property guard dog, even though she has no aggression in her temperament whatsoever. When she is first introduced to new people, she will be a little timid. But after about 10min and a few treats, she’ll begin to show them what a silly girl she really is. She will also bark when she’s ready to come inside to hang out with the family or to nap in her kennel during the day. She is wonderful with her people and loves to lay her head in your lap for lots of petting. . She likes to play ‘catch me if you can’ with her people, too, so a teenage child that has plenty of energy for her would be ideal. She does still need training and she’s a big girl so kids must be over 14yrs old. Although she can get along with some other medium to large dogs, she can be selective and a bit bossy so it would be best if she is the only animal in the home. Barn cats are ok but no indoor kitties please. Opal is fully crate trained and house trained so she can be left home alone for a reasonable amount of time
