Pax is a small female and will be light in weight and smaller in size. She has a good amount of bubbly energy and would love a family with children and/or other pets. She will enjoy going to soccer games and peddling around town with her family. She loves giving kisses and snuggles. Pax is a smart female and will learn tasks easily with consistency. This puppy has a long solid black coat with significant undercoat and will require regular brushing. She will shed profusely twice a year with the change in weather.
