She is delicate with all of our animals, including the ferrets and the birds, and the pain in the butt puppy.
Very loving, and very goofy
I hope that more people will realize that they are an amazing breed, and only have the bad reputation because of ignorant owners.
They are strong and unfortunately some use them for sick twisted games
