About Butters
Intelligent, kind, gentle, just an amazing girl. Once her puppy stage was over, we realized she only barks once every week or two. Gentle natured never growls at other animals, and a very soft mouth. Has an on off switch, will keep going or go relax. Loves to swim, travel and do anything with her family!
