Nikki is about 3 years old. She is a princess in every meaning of the word. She is somewhat independent at times but will cuddle at other times. She is very furry and needs to be groomed - especially in the summer. She does not shed a lot. She isn't a "protector" but she will bark. She loves to run and play but not extremely motivated by toys. She is smaller - about 45 lbs or so. She is part Border Collie we think. She is a very sweet girl in every way. She loves to ride in the car. She loves other dogs and loves to go for walks.
