More about Kate's personality:
Katie is very sweet and is always happy and smiling, although she can put on her serious face for the show ring. She absolutely loves to snuggle and has the sometimes annoying habit of attempting to cover you with kisses. She's medium energy- very happy to go adventuring with the humans but perfectly content to stay in and binge Netflix. She gets along well with most other dogs and is happy either by herself or in a group, although she can get a touch jealous about sharing the attention of her humans. She has excellent house manners, doesn't chew on furniture, bedding, or cords, isn't rough with her toys, and is completely trustworthy by herself at home. She is crate trained and potties well on-leash. She has a few things to say when it's time to do her nails. She rarely barks and is generally a very content, happy girl.
