Della is sweet as pie and came from a recent puppy mill bust where many schnauzer dogs were seized. She is pure puppy energy when she's awake, and loves to take naps in your lap. She is the epitome of a lap dog! She loves to play fetch with her ball and will bring it back for more. She is very smart and knows how to sit for treats and has learned her name. She does great with other dogs and has shown no signs of resource guarding or food agression. She is working on doing well on a leash. She loves to explore with her nose and is very vocal, typical schnauzer traits. She has met cats briefly and did a little investigating and barked but otherwise ignored them. She loves other dogs and is in a home with one whom she adores and follows him around when not in her Foster's lap or nearby. She has been groomed and does above average for a puppy. She seems to love water and will happily go potty in the rain or run into a puddle. Potty training has been going very well and she is pee pad/ outside trained. She still has some accidents in her crate overnight but does well during the day. She does not like being crated or in a pen during the day and cries/barks for extended periods of time before quieting down. She loves toys and bones and is very food motivated, but seems to have a very sensitive stomach. She loves everyone and greets new people with kisses and joy. She does not shed. Her ears had a lot of build-up that had to be cleaned and plucked and it will be important to keep up with her ears as she grows to avoid itching and potential infection.
