Tara - On Trial

Tara is quiet big and energetic, which might make her appear a bit scary to people. When she meets new people she likes she will jump up on you and play around. Because she is so big and strong she pushes you around a bit but she would never harm anybody. She does not bark without a reason, only when she thinks that there is something wrong that she can't see, like when she hears unfamiliar sounds outside. She does not even react when neighbourhood dogs are barking. When going for a walk she is very strong on the lead, specially when you go for a walk with more people or another dog. She loves to play with other dogs and gets very excited, but would not even harm another dog. When the other dog shows aggression, she rather walks away then getting into it. When i take her for a walk, i can let let off the leash and she will come back with no hassle. Only when she sees people she hesitates coming back and when she sees another dog or even a cat it can be really hard to call her back and i mostly have to follow her. She won't run onto the street though, at least none with cars, she seems to be scared of those. So in general she is a nice dog and obedient except for her excitement levels. Tara loves some cuddling up as well and she specially loves sleeping in peoples beds, but has no problem either sleeping on her own or even in her basket. We did not try to keep her outside yet because we considered it too cold because she's not used to it. She will need people that have time to play with her and just throwing some toys is hardly enough. She likes some rougher play every now and then to get rid of her energy. She loves to go for walks every now and then, but even a bigger garden will do her for most of the time because she is out of breath pretty quick when running. Tara would be good with children because she would not harm them at all, but younger children could not take her for a walk on their own because of her strength. We need to find a new owner for this sweet and lovely dog!
