Welcome Bella to GPPR. She has just arrived and needs some vetting done, but we are seeing her personality come out as she settles into her foster home.

Bella is petite, she is only 23 pounds full grown, and even if she is mixed with something, she looks and acts 100% like a pointer! At her first vet visit she received a good bill of health, although she needs to gain a couple of pounds.

Bella likes to play with other dogs, she will chase them in the yard as we play fetch, and sometimes she will bring the ball, or a walnut, back. She gets along well with dogs of all sizes and ages. She walks well on the leash and is housebroken, as long as you catch her cues when she is asking to go outside. She also likes to follow her nose around the yard and will point at bunnies, birds, and other dogs. She does need work on her recall.

Bella loves to snuggle, and if you are on the couch, she wants to be there with you. She will curl around any body part she can, and falls asleep. She is supposed to be crate trained, we will be testing that after the holiday weekend is over.

Bella is working on jumping and counter surfing, she is so small that she thinks she must get her nose up to places to see what is going on, but we are working on that. She is also vocal and is just learning that she does not have to be to get the attention she deserves. She will need a home that will help her learn by reinforcing boundaries and expectations, and not give into that cute face. She will be a great dog for any family willing to do some work with her. Bella is scheduled to be spayed soon and will be available after her recovery time.

Bella is located in MN
