She's extremely smart and she knows how to pick up on cues easily. Stella knows several commands, including : sit, stay, wait, leave it, drop it, go potty, and come here (sometimes, she may give you a paw if you hold your hand out) but she can still be trained because she loves treats! Stella loves toys that she can destroy, a chew toy from time to time but what she enjoys most of all is a game of fetch! She will not play outside by herself in a backyard -- you MUST come play with her. She does know the difference between her own toys that she can play with and your belongings. Stella loves walking/jogging on leash alongside her people; she loves being outside for any reason! She loves belly rubs, and in return, loves to give kisses of affection. She loves barking when people walk by the home or the fence - she will always let you know someone is nearby. Stella isn't territorial for her own space but she will make any place in the house (especially the living room or your bed) her comfort spot unless you train her not to . Stella enjoys being around dogs that want to play. She would be really happy to have a companion dog, a large male who’s yelling and fun like her to play with. Stella is housetrained and she will bark in the middle of the night if she needs to be let outside. Stella is a great little dog. She’s the perfect size and the perfect energy level to be a companion to people or a family or to a male dog companion.
