Breed: Border collie, black lab cross

Barking from: Auckland, Auckland

What's up dog?

Shadow is known for her lively outlook on life. She is always excited to meet new people with a gentle and calm approach. She shows off her good girl skills in front of crowds and will be your best friend! Nicknamed Shady, although good behavior is a must, she's always up to something sneaky. If its steals treats from mum's pockets or her younger sister when she's not looking Shadow brings joy and laughter where ever she goes. Shadow was found at a very young age and was given the princess treatment and expects nothing less for herself and you! If she hears you scream, bet she will be there as quick and dogly possible to provide the only way she knows how - moral support. Armed with her favorite soft toy to share. Shadow is a treat motivated, soft, caring bundle of joy.
