She sits or lays behind her door, is leashed in no time and off she strolls by my side around the block. She relieves herself immediately as we leave the building. Her kennel is clean and orderly. Lucy is a cute rabbit girl with pointy ears, lively and gentle eyes and carries most of the time an engaging smile on her face. She looks healthy, very well nourished and is dressed in a well groomed ebony coat. Lucy comes at the call of her given name and sits immediately on command, treats or no treats. She is very obedient… She eats very politely from my hand. Lucy’s hallmark is her congeniality with people and dogs alike but also her love for humans.
