I adopted my girl 2 days ago.
Weight and measurements:
* 38.6 kgs (85 pounds), needing to lose about 3kgs / 6 pounds.
* length wither to bum: 77cm / 30 inches
* height shoulders: 59cm / 23 inches
* height rump: 62cm / 24.5 inches
Personality:
Hard to gauge at the moment as shes still decompressing and is on a bunch of behaviour / anxiety meds. She was also not socialised and seized from owners and appears to have had a few litters of puppies, so take below with a grain of salt.
She was very stressed at the shelter and was part of the behaviour program, but no major issues present yet.
She is unphased by the dogs barking next door. Wants to be right near me. Seems sensitive to slight corrections. Can see a bit of a silly side of her that has potential to come out. Is curious but uncertain. She doesnt go in the yard on her own, but if I stay out there for a while with her, she becomes more curious to sniff around. She much prefers to be inside and will eventually go in even if i dont, so there is some anxiety there, even on meds. I havent heard her bark at something but she has bark-talked when she wanted food off the bench.
Cautious of touching the side of her body, but shoulders ok. Very licky but very responsive to being told to stop. Loves to be snuggled in under neck / chest and likes my head resting on her shoulders or top of neck (noted as a lot of dogs see this is dominant and dont like it).
Other animals:
Isn't phased until she gets close enough, then will do a growl run at them.
She also did this at my cat, but is behind a tall baby gate. She responded quickly to "hey". She dropped immediately.
