Moxie fits her character. Very energetic. First time in 5 foot chain link fenced open yard with a good lawn. She grew up in an apartment. She is 2 years old as of 4-April-2022. Just got her at Wayside Waifs in Kansas City Mo. Home on few days trial run to determine compatibility. No question in my mind on that. She is also a loving dog.
