Angel was 4 years old and Prince was 5 when I got them. They lady I got them from never took them anywhere. The only people they ever saw were the few people who visited her.
They were both pretty shy, but Angel was extremely shy. The first obedience class we took, she spent the whole class hiding under my chair. She was afraid of everyone who tried to pet her. If we went to anyone's house she wanted me to hold her the whole time.
We spent a lot of time walking around pet stores and our neighborhood. I let anyone we met pet her. I've had her for three years now. She thinks everyone needs to stop what they're doing and pay attention to her. She goes up to people and tries to get them to pick her up. She has become quite the social butterfly now
Hard to believe she's the same shy little girl from three years ago.
