Personality

Verity is a very intelligent and sensitive little girl. She loves people and loves to be petted. She also loves to chase squirrels and noisy trucks in our fenced yard. Verity was born just before the COVID pandemic shut down the world, and so she did not have a chance early in life to meet many new people. It is amazing how sociable and trusting she is, considering that she missed out on a very important part of puppy socialization.

Training

Verity is actively competing in obedience, rally, barn hunt, and canine scentwork.

How do you know that your dog loves therapy work?

Verity eagerly trots ahead of me as we walk into the facilities that we visit. She confidently approaches everyone that she visits, and leans into them as they pet her.
