Our sweet girl was born on a mountain in the Greek countryside by a stray dog who was very phobic.
All she learned from her mom as a puppy was how to be a dog with the rest of the dogs. She hangs out with the puppies at the shelter, imitates them, tries to play like a puppy, and has a good time with them.
What he didn't learn was how to be a dog when he is with people. When she sees a person from afar, she looks with interest, and comes to the bars if she is in her cage, because no matter how much she is afraid, she has puppy curiosity.
But when you approach her, Penny hides.
She is generally very hesitant, both in shelter, and out on the walk. If they are in the company of another puppy, they open up slightly, without feeling comfortable, but without looking for a place to disappear.
It is a dog that will take a long time to open up and a lot of patience. It will probably never become a sociable dog who wants to meet people for a walk and who feels comfortable in crowded places, but will become functional and cheerful with patience and proper training.
