Lovely, long coated, 6 year old Gretchen 08 was sold a few months ago and suddenly found herself in the Midwest and being kept as an outside dog. This friendly, playful, sociable, and happy dog was very unhappy with this arrangement. She is wonderful with children; not good with female dogs and has been known to chase cats. She knows basic commands; loves car rides and leash walks; loves to play ball and even goes roller blading. Gretchen doesn't like fireworks.
