Swissies are so not high energy...well Harlee is still kinda a puppy, but really, she'll just lay there relaxed and big ol goofy like I like her protective instincts...even though she wouldn't harm a fly, she barks at passers by, that is a Swissie trait, to guard their family. But at the same time she is my gentle giant. I wouldn't trade her for anything. She's the best!! She is my shadow and I step on it often, lol!! She is always under foot!!
