Valentina von Layla is a gorgeous, 16-month-old Jindo/Shepherd mix often referred to as a ball of fire, doggie dynamo, live wire and spark plug.  This house-trained, smaller-sized lass displays her enthusiasm in rough-housing with like dogs, accompanying you on jogs/hikes and zooming after leaves blowing in the backyard.  Valentina can be tentative about new things in her life -- from people to places -- so her person needs to introduce her slowly and be sensitive to her apprehensions.  Smart as a whip, our vivacious Miss V likes learning nearly as much as she likes riding in the car.  She's not for every family but perfect for an active, adult home with a confident owner who believes in staying fit.
