After a few minutes she is ready to be petted by the man too. Abbey is a wonderful, loving dog that will make some lucky family a GReat pet. She needs to go to a home where the family will continue to work with getting her to trust men. Abbey has had a very busy week and has been a real trooper. She is a real sweetheart and a very easy dog to care for.
Abbey is completely housetrained, knows to come when called, sit for treats and settles down easily.
She is a little hesitant around new people but warms up after she decides they are okay. Once she determines that the people are okay, she stops. She seems to warm up to women, much more quickly then men. Has not bared her teeth at all or been aggressive, just noisy and a little intimidating. After the first few minutes of greeting everyone, she settled down, wandered around the house and enjoyed being petted by all family members.
