Dog Details

Coal Camp Rita "Rita"

Active, playful, and friendly - that’s Rita.  At 55 lbs she’s a cute little peanut of a girl.  She has a foxy black face and a dark brindle coat with white toes.  She is very smart and knows her commands well—sit, stay, lay down, come, speak, shake and high 5.  She likes playing with anything that squeaks and all kinds of balls, especially tennis balls.  She loves being out in the yard playing, hunting squirrels, or just lying in the cool grass in the shade.  She enjoys being brushed and is ok with having her teeth brushed.  Bath times are scary and she has to be bribed to get in the tub, but once there she cooperates nicely.  She likes going on walks and riding in the car.  Rita’s house manners are excellent.  She doesn’t counter surf, doesn’t get on the furniture, and has never had an accident in the house.  She does not need to be crated.  She is friendly to everyone she meets.  She’s an all around good family dog.
