Jesse is bonded to her owners. She has average energy and is not super calm, but she has the patience to handle when she needs to wait. Jesse is highly alert to her surroundings and takes in many things all at once. She notices a great deal happening at a good distance and uses clear discerning skills to make decisions simply by watching how others interact. She enjoys playing with other dogs and likes to play with toys, especially soft ones. She loves to go for walks and run down the trail.
