I was sitting a friend's dog over the long weekend and we had a great time running around in the woods! Owner said she'd likely just mope all weekend, so I honestly thought we keep her out in the backyard most of the time with some minimal interaction, but we wound up hiking almost 20 miles around Tacoma over those 4 days. I fell absolutely in love with her loyalty and intelligence, and now my wife (she was already pro-dog) and I now want to adopt a dog similar to her, but aren't every really sure where to start looking.She is very friendly towards family and strangers alike. A bit territorial around other dogs, especially when they run at her, but by the 3rd/4th day of us walking she was getting much better. Owner says don't bring her to off leash parks, so I didn't. Doesn't bark much, when she hears something outside, she'll go closer to the source to investigate, but only barks when someone is actually at the door or ringing the bell. She is a bit of a picky eater, and can easily be commanded to drop most food debris normally found in an urban setting. She has a strong prey drive and loves to chase birds and squirrels. Leash manners readily improved after the 2nd day.About 55 pounds, 2 people I saw while we were walking around said she looks like a pit lab mix (Labrabull)? http://ift.tt/2rVmjg9 miles, McKinley Park: http://ift.tt/2qCak3i miles, Swan Creek: http://ift.tt/2rVbRFA'm going to be sitting her again next month, and have many more long walks planned. Other than her leading the leash, which she had almost entirely stopped doing by day 4, also let me know if you see any obvious things I should work on with her! via /r/dogs http://ift.tt/2qC9IKV
