She is. We rescued her. The original owners were not ideal--she was taken back 25% underweight (she is 100lbs now) and was confined to her crate for 8-hour a day (guess where she learned to pee). She really did not understand affection, but greatly wanted it. She would get really excited and would bite--we think when the owners played with her, they could not control her and wore gloves for protection--easier than training her--and she still bites if you put on gloves. But she is making great progress. She still gets excited, but it is much better tempered. She is finding out that "affection" in not rough play nor something she only gets at certain hours. She is a lovely girl.
