Alex (aka Scarlett) was VERY shy at first but she is now becoming more animated, confident and able to leave her foster dad's side for more than a minute! She is approximately 6 years old. She has the short golden fur of a golden retriever and the snout and white paws of a Collie or Dalmation. She is quite smart and attentive as well as totally housetrained. She knows the commands SIT, GIVE A PAW, DOWN, UP, COME and NO. She was well trained by her previous owner. She would be the perfect dog for someone who has no other dogs or has just one or two friendly smaller dogs. She is extremely sweet and easygoing and to top it off she rarely barks!
