Dottie

We’re proud to introduce “Dottie”, affectionately named for the striking black circular marking on the top of her head that makes her instantly recognizable. That perfect little “dot” is just the beginning of what makes this girl so special. Dottie is the total package — confident, personable, and incredibly intelligent. From an early age, she has shown natural self-assurance without being pushy. She approaches new environments with curiosity and boldness, always eager to explore and engage. Her outgoing personality makes her a natural favorite — she seeks out attention, enjoys interaction, and carries herself with a presence well beyond her age. Dottie thrives on connection. She is: Social and people-focused Quick to learn and highly responsive Playful yet attentive Confident without being overly dominant Her intelligence is evident in how quickly she picks up on routines and responds to guidance. She maintains eye contact, processes new experiences thoughtfully, and shows excellent problem-solving ability — traits that will make her highly trainable and adaptable. Structurally, Dottie is very correct and balanced. She displays: Strong bone and substance A well-shaped head with beautiful expression Clean, balanced lines Solid topline and nice rear angulation Overall excellent conformation for her age She carries herself with confidence and poise, standing naturally with strength and stability. Her structure and movement indicate tremendous promise as she continues to mature. Dottie is a beautiful example of the quality and temperament we strive for at BenShane's Stronghold — eye-catching in appearance and exceptional in personality. She is a special girl who will make a lasting impression wherever she goes.
