Biography for Izzy

She's 50 lbs and about 2 years old.  She is about knee high, slightly longer than she is tall and well muscled. She doesn't look as heavy as she is.

What a beautiful girl, that's what I say when I look at this dog. She's not flashy or showy, she's just beautiful. She is very athletically balanced and has a nice physique. She's alert and attentive to the world and watches everything with a sweet quizzical expression and warm brown eyes that could just melt your soul. All she wants is to snuggle up as close to you as possible, tail slowly wagging the whole time. Everyone is her friend and it actually can become a problem because she has to say "hi" to just about everyone (and climb in their lap or car if you aren't careful). She appears to be a very mellow gal. She has a moderate exercise requirement and appears very laid back. When I come home in the evenings she runs around a little to get the zoomies out and then we take a nice walk after dinner for .5-1.5 miles. She doesn't like the really hot weather and prefers to keep the walks short when it's muggy.

Like most of these dogs, Izzy has a sad story and yup, you guessed it...it involves a chain and a thick collar and very little love and affection. A shame but she can make up for it now and she loves to cuddle. She will climb into any available lap, really just bulldozes her way right in.

She's very quiet you will almost never hear her bark for any reason. She's perfectly crate trained and working on housebreaking. She's a snap to bathe, just stands there quietly and lets you lather her up and rinse her off. She doesn't mind getting her ears cleaned or her nails trimmed. She rides great in the car.

She's a wonderful dog and will make a wonderful pet. She is not aggressive to other animals, she will not start a fight but I can't guarantee she would back down - she is a pit bull after all. She is very social with friendly dogs when out on leash. She appears not interested in cats other than a wag and a sniff and not terribly interested in squirrels. She will kill and dismember any and all stuffed squeak toys that you provide for her.

She seems very responsive to training and eager to connect with someone. She picked up the leash walking in one afternoon and now walks nicely at a natural heel. She's a pleasure to walk.
