Rikka is a gorgeous classic lady of about 5 years old. Bailed on her last day at the shelter, we think we know why she was abandoned. She is a very alert, active girl and without daily activity and interaction, she was probably too difficult to handle. If she didn't have a grey muzzle, we'd guess that she was under two years old.

Rikka gets along fine with submissive dogs. She has been in a foster home with some alpha-ish females and they have a tentative truce but she would truly bloom with a submissive dog for a partner. She really loves to play but when two alpha females try to play, it tends to end up in fisticuffs.

Rikka will sleep the night in a crate and responds very well to correction and training. She definitely wants to please but she isn't a dog for a pushover because she is one smart cookie!
