I have had dogs all my life. The last one wouldnt leave the property. She was people smart and knew what was allowed. We got her from Katrina at 4 months. Was brought all the way to vt by truck and we adopted her. This one is from the same area and is now 5 months. Looks like a plott and the other was a lab catahoula mix. With all the critters around here it will be a challenge letting her off leash unattended. GPS tracker is a great idea.
