Piper {Rottweiler/Terrier cross}

Piper is a three year old Rottweiler/Terrier cross. She is an incredible dog who deserves an incredible home. Piper is a great dog that would make not only a great family pet, but an amazing athlete as well. She is very well behaved at home - calm, obedient, and respectful. Outside she can run for miles. She LOVES to run the coulees, and is a great jogging partner. She also does well running alongside the bike.

Piper has a great temperament and is kind, gentle and loving towards people. She loves everyone she meets. She is very snuggly (often tries to sit in your lap) and loves to cuddle in the morning. She is great with kids, and seems to really enjoy their attention.  She has had a lot of obedience training and is well mannered. She can sit, down, stay, come, shake a paw,  go to her bed, and more.

She is not without her issues though - Piper has issues with other dogs. This will need to be managed for the rest of her life. She is reactive to them on leash, and is not predictable with them off leash. The issue seems to be mostly her thinking that she needs to protect her owner. As long as her owner is not around she is fine - she even goes to doggy daycare! But on a walk it is a different story. She is used to walking on a halti and does really well, but she certainly needs work in this department.

Piper would do best as an only dog, but is great with cats. She would like to have her own family to love- kids included. She would also make an ideal companion for someone who likes to camp, hike, jog, or for someone wanting to do agility with their dog. She is certainly athletic enough! Really all she wants is someone to love her unconditionally. She is certainly deserving of it.
