Mary has a quirky personality, she can pretend she doesn’t want to know you, but she really does. She can be reserved in busy and new environments but is very settled once familiar. Mary likes routine. Her interactions with other breeds of dogs have been polite.

She is better suited to a home with grown up or no children, she like predictable!

Mary generally walks well on lead and will get into the back of the station wagon without assistance, needs a little encouragement to the back seat but will give it a go.

Mary is looking for a quiet and relaxed home.
