Meadow embodies these qualities, bringing both energy and affection to those around her. With her athletic build, sharp mind, and deep bond with her people, she’s the perfect partner for an active family who loves to get outdoors. Meadow’s Story & Personality: Meadow is a vibrant, athletic pup with a dramatic coat that fades from glossy black to warm brown around her ears and legs. She’s almost housebroken, fully crate trained, and leash trained, but still working on building self-confidence. Meadow bonds quickly with her people and looks to them for direction and approval. She’s playful, curious, and incredibly smart – the kind of dog who will thrive with puzzle feeders, training games, and new adventures. While she has some resource guarding around food with other dogs, she does great with canine friends as long as meals are separate. She’s a chewer at times, but responds well to gentle correction. Meadow is still growing, a bit thin, and learning the ropes of home life – but her potential is limitless. With patience, structure, and plenty of exercise, she will blossom into a devoted lifelong companion.
