Female
Age: 9 years old
Color: Light Brindle
Size: 60 Lbs.
Cats: No

Xmas is a very sweet girl who likes to gives kisses to people. Her light brindle coat is an unusual light color, which makes her stand out in a crowd. She is very beautiful, with a calm disposition. Not ok with with cats and she has not yet encountered any small dogs. She knows how to use a dog door, LOVES to go on walks, and walks very well on a leash. She rides extremely well in a car once you lift her in (she doesn't like to jump in, her foster mom thinks she likes the human contact part of getting lifted in).

Xmas would prefer to sleep on your bed, but will settle for a dog bed next to your bed. She does not get on the other furniture. She has done her duty as a racer and a mother to many pups and now she needs a nice peaceful retirement. She would probably prefer another large breed dog for company but is great as an only dog if she is not left alone all day.

Xmas is currently being monitored by a veterinarian to determine why she is losing protein through her kidneys. She has had several tests and is scheduled for additional testing to get to the root of her problem. She is very happy and comfortable with no pain. Her kidneys continue to perplex the doctors but all of her ther tests show that she is healthy. Her protien values will need to be monitord by her new owners.

Xmas found her new home-for-life and will begin her life in a permanent home right away.
