She was not comfortable with her rear paws being held as she turned to look back at the handler with concerned eyes and alert ears. She was wary with the handler standing behind her, turning to face him with concerned eyes.

She avoided eye contact and would not approach despite coaxing. The runner stepped into the kennel while presenting the loop leash. She snapped at it on the first attempt. She was ok with it being placed over her head but had wide eyes and alert ears. She required coaxing to exit the kennel. Once out, she walked well next to the runner on the way to the catch pen. She was wary of a female boxer as she entered the yard, leaning away as she was greeted. She quickly relaxed, exchanging a good greeting with the boxer. She was wary of a female pit bull who came up to playfully but relaxed quickly once again, exchanging a good greeting. She spent the next few minutes calmly roaming the yard socially with a group of dogs. She would approach the handlers to sniff their hand but would not fully commit. She was wary of an energetic female Doberman who play bowed and barked at her as she enticed play. She remained social with the other calm dogs, keeping her distance from playful dogs for the rest of her stay in the yard. She needs further socialization.
