The owner said she is very protective.  She doesn't let anyone get near him. She is great with children.  She won't let any females including his family come close. I found that to be a little odd that the dog doesn't like a gender. She's 4 now,  therefore it's been close to 4 years since we've seen her.  I've heard many great things. But seeing her made us very pleased. She came right over and greeted me and my wife. He was shocked.  She doesn't do that for anyone else. I knew she would remember us!
