Our dogs mental qualities are important for how our time together are. All our dogs are different, not everyone is overjoyed when they meet new people, some react to loud sounds others do not, everyone does not think rabbits are fun to chase, some love their toys, others think that the family is the best playmates - and all are of course exactly as it should be!!
