I usually tell people that Brandi is skittish and doesn't like to be held by strangers whenever they ask me if they can hold Brandi. I will say she will nip at you so for that reason, I don't let people hold Brandi when they ask.
She hates anyone other than me holding her. She's not overly friendly and it takes time for her to warm up to people (eventually she does, she just needs to know she can trust you) which is a good thing when it comes to people taking off with her.
