All in the Family

Biography: Alki is a typical pit bull; very cuddly and affectionate, always aiming to please, a joy to train, and ever playful. She has the most expressive deep brown eyes, and perfect white blaze on her nose. She also has a cute little under bite, and deadly whip for a tail! She is very intense and high drive when shes focused on a task. She lives for fetch and tug, and these are her biggest training rewards. She will run until she collapses and is an amazing jumper. But is equally content to curl up on a chair and snore away for hours, preferably in the company of a human. She loves physical contact and I love having a 55 lb lap dog. When she is really happy to see you (which is pretty much all the time), she lets out the CUTEST "roo-roo-roo" howl! She will entertain herself for a long time bouncing around tossing a toy for herself. She appears to have been physically disciplined by her former owner and often used to cower down or roll on her back when she thought she was in trouble, but now she never does this. It makes me so happy and proud to think of how trusting and confident shes become. The dog I met the day I adopted her is nothing like the dog I know today. She can still be a bit shy in new situations, but has made amazing progress, and wants very badly to trust people despite the abuse she experienced the first year of her life.
