Now and then we get a dog that just seems to have been born for a special purpose. Gemma would make a great farm dog! She'd be a great barn and kitchen buddy for a farmer or a perfect companion for a single man or woman in a quiet home!  In a home she will need a fenced yard. Gemma is a 26 pound female mixed breed. She has a tendency to be protective of women, but really likes the men she gets to know. She is not the dog for a first time dog owner and is not particularly friendly when first meeting new people.  But if given a chance to make up on her own terms and time, she'll be an affectionate, loyal companion.  Gemma needs experienced dog savvy, people in her life with knowledge of gentle training, control and obedience methods.  NO SMALL KIDDOS!!  Gemma is OK with other dogs but she is jealous and protective of her human so a home with NO other dogs is best!
