Cordellia is a bold, independent, intelligent, and highly active pup.
She’s also a big sweetheart. Cordellia thinks she runs the show and
can sometimes be found bossing her brother, Zander around. She loves
toys and especially loves to chase balls! The bigger the better for
this girl! She doesn’t bring it back yet, but she runs as fast as she
possibly can across the yard to get to it. Cordellia likes to give
kisses and sit in your lap on the couch. She is learning that it’s ok
to relax sometimes and she doesn’t have to run around all the time.
When she first came to our house there is no way she would be caught
napping during the day because daylight is for running and jumping and
wrestling with Zander and the resident dogs. However, Cordellia took
her first ever afternoon nap on Labor Day and has been a little more
relaxed than when she first came to us.
Cordellia can often be found sitting on the deck, watching over the
neighborhood. She is learning the difference between nuisance barking
and appropriate barking. She is very smart and corrects quickly and
easily using tone and the word no. She is also learning down, sit, her
name, and kennel. She goes into her kennel easily for the night. She
will make some noise at first (I think she still wants to be playing!)
but she quiets down when told no the first time and sleeps through the
night. If she does need to go potty she will let you know with a soft
whimper. She loves playing with her toys and especially likes puzzle
type toys. Did I mention she’s a smarty pants?

Cordellia will make a wonderful addition to a highly active home. She
wants to please her people and would love to become someone’s partner.
With the right handler, I don’t think there is anything this gal can’t
do!
