Comments: Four from this litter were brought back but only Goldi was registered. Goldi was the only one of the litter who got her ears up. She is a good pet except that she is fearful of loud noises or any strangers. She hides when people come. She barks in warning when someone comes to the door. "She's getting gray around the muzzle (actually she's been gray for years - always looked older than she actually is) and she seems to be a little hard of hearing, so it takes louder noises to scare her. But she's still active and in really good health." - M. Koplow Jan. 2000.
